48 WESTWOOD AVENUE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the North Hertfordshire local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 48 WESTWOOD AVENUE sales from March 2004 and July 2012 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 March 2004 sale was for 1% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 1% below the HPI over time, until the July 2012 sale, where it rises to 8% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 8% above the HPI.

What might 48 WESTWOOD AVENUE be worth now?
