21 CELESTINE CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Maidstone local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The six 21 CELESTINE CLOSE sales between June 1996 and August 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 July 2015 sale was for 29% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 29% below the HPI over time, until the August 2020 sale, where it rises to 20% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 20% below the HPI.

What might 21 CELESTINE CLOSE be worth now?
