33 DICKENS CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the St Albans local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three 33 DICKENS CLOSE sales between October 2002 and October 2010 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 July 2006 sale was for 16% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 16% above the HPI over time, until the October 2010 sale, where it falls to 13% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 13% above the HPI.

What might 33 DICKENS CLOSE be worth now?
