7 WHERNSIDE CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Sunderland local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The five 7 WHERNSIDE CLOSE sales between June 1998 and August 2023 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 March 2010 sale was for 13% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 13% below the HPI over time, until the August 2023 sale, where it rises to 12% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 12% below the HPI.

What might 7 WHERNSIDE CLOSE be worth now?
