26 LAUNTON CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the Luton local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three 26 LAUNTON CLOSE sales between May 2013 and June 2021 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 June 2017 sale was for 18% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 18% above the HPI over time, until the June 2021 sale, where it rises to 22% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 22% above the HPI.

What might 26 LAUNTON CLOSE be worth now?
