30 BASALT CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Walsall local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 30 BASALT CLOSE sales from November 1995 and September 1999 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 1995 sale was for 18% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 18% below the HPI over time, until the September 1999 sale, where it falls to 39% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 39% below the HPI.

What might 30 BASALT CLOSE be worth now?
