31 GOLDFINCH DRIVE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the South Cambridgeshire local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three 31 GOLDFINCH DRIVE sales between July 2000 and November 2017 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 2003 sale was for 30% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 30% below the HPI over time, until the November 2017 sale, where it rises to 23% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 23% below the HPI.

What might 31 GOLDFINCH DRIVE be worth now?
