4 ORCHID CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the East Cambridgeshire local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three 4 ORCHID CLOSE sales between October 1997 and August 2011 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 March 2006 sale was for 35% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 35% below the HPI over time, until the August 2011 sale, where it rises to 33% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 33% below the HPI.

What might 4 ORCHID CLOSE be worth now?
