26 WATSON AVENUE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Harborough local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 26 WATSON AVENUE sales from September 1998 and July 2005 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 1998 sale was for 12% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 12% below the HPI over time, until the July 2005 sale, where it falls to 19% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 19% below the HPI.

What might 26 WATSON AVENUE be worth now?
