5 BLACKDOWN ROAD Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Worthing local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three 5 BLACKDOWN ROAD sales between November 1995 and December 2007 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 June 2000 sale was for 27% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 27% below the HPI over time, until the December 2007 sale, where it falls to 31% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 31% below the HPI.

What might 5 BLACKDOWN ROAD be worth now?
