23 THE MARTINS DRIVE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Central Bedfordshire local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 23 THE MARTINS DRIVE sales from August 2006 and July 2012 have been plotted on the graph.

For example, the August 2006 sale was for 15% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 15% above the HPI over time, until the July 2012 sale, where it rises to 27% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 27% above the HPI.

What might 23 THE MARTINS DRIVE be worth now?
