25 GRESFORD CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the St Albans local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 25 GRESFORD CLOSE sales from July 1996 and March 2012 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 1996 sale was for 34% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 34% below the HPI over time, until the March 2012 sale, where it falls to 40% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 40% below the HPI.

What might 25 GRESFORD CLOSE be worth now?
