28 WICK AVENUE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the St Albans local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 28 WICK AVENUE sales from July 2005 and August 2017 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 2005 sale was for 14% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 14% below the HPI over time, until the August 2017 sale, where it falls to 24% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 24% below the HPI.

What might 28 WICK AVENUE be worth now?
