3 JAPONICA DRIVE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Merthyr Tydfil local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 3 JAPONICA DRIVE sales from February 2000 and November 2020 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 February 2000 sale was for 42% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 42% above the HPI over time, until the November 2020 sale, where it falls to 37% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 37% above the HPI.

What might 3 JAPONICA DRIVE be worth now?
