38 RIDGE AVENUE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the St Albans local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three 38 RIDGE AVENUE sales between January 1995 and December 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 September 2006 sale was for 23% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 23% below the HPI over time, until the December 2009 sale, where it rises to 8% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 8% above the HPI.

What might 38 RIDGE AVENUE be worth now?

38 RIDGE AVENUE might now be worth an estimated £1,335,991.

This is based on house price inflation of 100.9%, between December 2009 and February 2025, for detached houses, in the St Albans local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 100.9% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 38 RIDGE AVENUE of £665,000 on 9th December 2009. For the value to have increased from £665,000 to £1,335,991 over the sixteen years and ten months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 38 RIDGE AVENUE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the St Albans local authority area.
• The December 2009 sale price of £665,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
