42 ARGUS CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the Birmingham local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 42 ARGUS CLOSE sales from June 2001 and May 2005 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 June 2001 sale was for 6% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 6% above the HPI over time, until the May 2005 sale, where it falls to 2% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 2% above the HPI.

What might 42 ARGUS CLOSE be worth now?
