26 FURZE CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Three Rivers local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The five 26 FURZE CLOSE sales between August 1997 and April 2024 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 September 2021 sale was for 57% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 57% below the HPI over time, until the April 2024 sale, where it rises to 55% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 55% below the HPI.

What might 26 FURZE CLOSE be worth now?
