4 BIGBURY CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Sunderland local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three 4 BIGBURY CLOSE sales between October 1999 and July 2024 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 2005 sale was for 17% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 17% above the HPI over time, until the July 2024 sale, where it falls to 15% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 15% above the HPI.

What might 4 BIGBURY CLOSE be worth now?
