3 LARCH CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Bridgend local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 3 LARCH CLOSE sales from September 1995 and February 2011 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 1995 sale was for 23% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 23% above the HPI over time, until the February 2011 sale, where it rises to 46% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 46% above the HPI.

What might 3 LARCH CLOSE be worth now?
