28 BROWNING DRIVE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the North Hertfordshire local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 28 BROWNING DRIVE sales from June 2003 and October 2007 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 2003 sale was for 29% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 29% below the HPI over time, until the October 2007 sale, where it rises to 23% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 23% below the HPI.

What might 28 BROWNING DRIVE be worth now?

The 81.7% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 28 BROWNING DRIVE of £334,250 on 11th October 2007. For the value to have increased from £334,250 to £607,459 over the sixteen years and ten months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:
