The below graph shows the average detached house price in the St Albans local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three 53 PARK AVENUE NORTH sales between July 1998 and March 2024 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 February 2015 sale was for 120% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 120% above the HPI over time, until the March 2024 sale, where it rises to 222% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 222% above the HPI.
53 PARK AVENUE NORTH might now be worth an estimated £4,003,025.
