5 HOLFEN CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the East Suffolk local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 5 HOLFEN CLOSE sales from January 1996 and May 1997 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 January 1996 sale was for 139% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 139% above the HPI over time, until the May 1997 sale, where it falls to 108% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 108% above the HPI.

What might 5 HOLFEN CLOSE be worth now?
