20 HOBBY CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the West Northamptonshire local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 20 HOBBY CLOSE sales from February 2004 and August 2015 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 February 2004 sale roughly matched the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks roughly in line with the HPI over time, until the August 2015 sale, where it falls to 7% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 7% below the HPI.

What might 20 HOBBY CLOSE be worth now?
