4 WILLOW CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Tendring local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The four 4 WILLOW CLOSE sales between March 1995 and October 2016 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 2002 sale was for 67% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 67% above the HPI over time, until the October 2016 sale, where it falls to 61% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 61% above the HPI.

What might 4 WILLOW CLOSE be worth now?
