4 WALTON CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Central Bedfordshire local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 4 WALTON CLOSE sales from December 2005 and October 2010 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 December 2005 sale was for 16% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 16% below the HPI over time, until the October 2010 sale, where it rises to 14% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 14% below the HPI.

What might 4 WALTON CLOSE be worth now?
