4 SOUTH HILL CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the North Hertfordshire local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three 4 SOUTH HILL CLOSE sales between March 2001 and March 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 November 2003 sale was for 35% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 35% below the HPI over time, until the March 2011 sale, where it rises to 26% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 26% below the HPI.

What might 4 SOUTH HILL CLOSE be worth now?
