42 WEST DRIVE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Birmingham local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 42 WEST DRIVE sales from May 2007 and March 2021 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 May 2007 sale was for 4% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 4% above the HPI over time, until the March 2021 sale, where it falls to 14% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 14% below the HPI.

What might 42 WEST DRIVE be worth now?
