45 MATTHEW GATE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the North Hertfordshire local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 45 MATTHEW GATE sales from November 2009 and June 2011 have been plotted on the graph.

For example, the November 2009 sale was for 33% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 33% below the HPI over time, until the June 2011 sale, which was also at 33% below the HPI.

What might 45 MATTHEW GATE be worth now?
