3 COLCHESTER WAY 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 3 COLCHESTER WAY sales from November 1998 and May 2009 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 November 1998 sale was for 7% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 7% above the HPI over time, until the May 2009 sale, where it falls to 2% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 2% below the HPI.

What might 3 COLCHESTER WAY be worth now?
