7 HIGHGROVE CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Dorset local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three 7 HIGHGROVE CLOSE sales between October 1996 and August 2018 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 August 2007 sale was for 29% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 29% below the HPI over time, until the August 2018 sale, where it falls to 30% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 30% below the HPI.

What might 7 HIGHGROVE CLOSE be worth now?
