4 GEORGE BIRD CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Sandwell local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 4 GEORGE BIRD CLOSE sales from October 2010 and January 2020 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 October 2010 sale was for 23% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 23% above the HPI over time, until the January 2020 sale, where it falls to 16% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 16% below the HPI.

What might 4 GEORGE BIRD CLOSE be worth now?
