7 BENBOW CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Swansea local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 7 BENBOW CLOSE sales from September 2004 and July 2014 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 September 2004 sale was for 37% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 37% above the HPI over time, until the July 2014 sale, where it rises to 42% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 42% above the HPI.

What might 7 BENBOW CLOSE be worth now?
