7 WEST SIDE CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the East Suffolk local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 7 WEST SIDE CLOSE sales from June 2005 and July 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 June 2005 sale was for 6% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 6% above the HPI over time, until the July 2020 sale, where it falls to 12% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 12% below the HPI.

What might 7 WEST SIDE CLOSE be worth now?
