28 WHITWELL CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the Luton local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 28 WHITWELL CLOSE sales from July 2006 and February 2014 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 July 2006 sale was for 2% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 2% below the HPI over time, until the February 2014 sale, where it rises to 7% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 7% above the HPI.

What might 28 WHITWELL CLOSE be worth now?
