39 SHEARWATER CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the Stevenage local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The five 39 SHEARWATER CLOSE sales between May 2001 and September 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 January 2007 sale was for 10% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 10% below the HPI over time, until the September 2017 sale, where it falls to 16% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 16% below the HPI.

What might 39 SHEARWATER CLOSE be worth now?
