26 MAIDEN CASTLE ROAD Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Dorset local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 26 MAIDEN CASTLE ROAD sales from March 1997 and October 2001 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 March 1997 sale was for 31% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 31% above the HPI over time, until the October 2001 sale, where it falls to 25% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 25% above the HPI.

What might 26 MAIDEN CASTLE ROAD be worth now?
