53 ORFORD DRIVE 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 53 ORFORD DRIVE sales from March 2017 and August 2019 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 March 2017 sale was for 52% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 52% below the HPI over time, until the August 2019 sale, where it rises to 32% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 32% below the HPI.

What might 53 ORFORD DRIVE be worth now?
