26 WITHAM CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Bedford local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 26 WITHAM CLOSE sales from March 1997 and January 2013 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 18% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 18% below the HPI over time, until the January 2013 sale, where it rises to 4% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 4% below the HPI.

What might 26 WITHAM CLOSE be worth now?
