56 DOWNS AVENUE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the Canterbury local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 56 DOWNS AVENUE sales from May 2008 and May 2012 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 May 2008 sale was for 3% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 3% above the HPI over time, until the May 2012 sale, where it rises to 18% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 18% above the HPI.

What might 56 DOWNS AVENUE be worth now?
