5 STOUR CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Dorset local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 5 STOUR CLOSE sales from September 2001 and January 2009 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 September 2001 sale was for 34% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 34% below the HPI over time, until the January 2009 sale, where it falls to 38% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 38% below the HPI.

What might 5 STOUR CLOSE be worth now?
