5 BLAKENEY CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Worcester local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three 5 BLAKENEY CLOSE sales between January 1999 and June 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 April 2004 sale was for 32% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 32% below the HPI over time, until the June 2007 sale, where it rises to 29% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 29% below the HPI.

What might 5 BLAKENEY CLOSE be worth now?
