20 HOME CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Bedford local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 20 HOME CLOSE sales from June 2019 and December 2020 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 June 2019 sale was for 17% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 17% below the HPI over time, until the December 2020 sale, where it falls to 26% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 26% below the HPI.

What might 20 HOME CLOSE be worth now?
