4 GOLDFINCH CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Mid Suffolk local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The four 4 GOLDFINCH CLOSE sales between September 2004 and January 2023 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 November 2011 sale was for 32% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 32% below the HPI over time, until the January 2023 sale, where it falls to 36% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 36% below the HPI.
