2 STEPHENSON CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the North Hertfordshire local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The four 2 STEPHENSON CLOSE sales between October 1999 and October 2019 have been plotted on the graph. A line has been extrapolated to show what the value of the property might have been over time, following each sale, had it maintained the same margin above or below the HPI (as a percentage). For example, the August 2016 sale was for 27% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 27% below the HPI over time, until the October 2019 sale, which was also at 27% below the HPI.

What might 2 STEPHENSON CLOSE be worth now?
