5 MAGNOLIA CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the St Albans local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three 5 MAGNOLIA CLOSE sales between July 1999 and August 2018 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 2002 sale was for 38% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 38% below the HPI over time, until the August 2018 sale, where it falls to 44% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 44% below the HPI.

What might 5 MAGNOLIA CLOSE be worth now?
