3 ORCHARD DRIVE 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 ORCHARD DRIVE sales from April 1998 and October 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 April 1998 sale was for 11% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 11% below the HPI over time, until the October 2009 sale, where it rises to 29% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 29% above the HPI.

What might 3 ORCHARD DRIVE be worth now?
