6 WORDSWORTH CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Central Bedfordshire local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three 6 WORDSWORTH CLOSE sales between December 1996 and August 2011 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 July 1999 sale was for 12% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 12% below the HPI over time, until the August 2011 sale, where it falls to 20% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 20% below the HPI.

What might 6 WORDSWORTH CLOSE be worth now?
