42 STIRLING CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the East Suffolk local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 42 STIRLING CLOSE sales from December 1998 and May 2014 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 1998 sale was for 26% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 26% below the HPI over time, until the May 2014 sale, where it falls to 34% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 34% below the HPI.

What might 42 STIRLING CLOSE be worth now?
