45 OSPREY CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Cherwell local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 45 OSPREY CLOSE sales from October 2004 and August 2011 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 October 2004 sale was for 18% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 18% below the HPI over time, until the August 2011 sale, where it rises to 17% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 17% below the HPI.

What might 45 OSPREY CLOSE be worth now?

The 62.7% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 45 OSPREY CLOSE of £290,000 on 26th August 2011. For the value to have increased from £290,000 to £471,913 over the fourteen years and six months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:
