26 HOUGHTON AVENUE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Medway local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 26 HOUGHTON AVENUE sales from September 2002 and June 2022 have been plotted on the graph.

For example, the September 2002 sale was for 66% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 66% above the HPI over time, until the June 2022 sale, where it falls to 39% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 39% above the HPI.

What might 26 HOUGHTON AVENUE be worth now?
