3 DOUGLAS CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Cardiff local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 3 DOUGLAS CLOSE sales from September 2003 and May 2012 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 September 2003 sale was for 21% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 21% below the HPI over time, until the May 2012 sale, where it falls to 22% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 22% below the HPI.

What might 3 DOUGLAS CLOSE be worth now?
