31 FERNLEA CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Dorset local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 31 FERNLEA CLOSE sales from October 1998 and February 2021 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 October 1998 sale was for 17% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 17% above the HPI over time, until the February 2021 sale, where it falls to 9% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 9% below the HPI.

What might 31 FERNLEA CLOSE be worth now?
