7 FORSTER STREET Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Sandwell local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three 7 FORSTER STREET sales between July 1997 and December 2020 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 2002 sale was for 44% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 44% above the HPI over time, until the December 2020 sale, where it rises to 45% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 45% above the HPI.

What might 7 FORSTER STREET be worth now?
