28 ELM AVENUE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Watford local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three 28 ELM AVENUE sales between February 2002 and February 2019 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 April 2004 sale was for 66% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 66% above the HPI over time, until the February 2019 sale, where it falls to roughly the same level as the HPI. The line then continues to track in line with the HPI.

What might 28 ELM AVENUE be worth now?
