6 FIRECREST DRIVE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the Mid Suffolk local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three 6 FIRECREST DRIVE sales between July 2004 and January 2023 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 October 2011 sale was for 9% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 9% below the HPI over time, until the January 2023 sale, where it rises to 1% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 1% above the HPI.

What might 6 FIRECREST DRIVE be worth now?
