79 GREEN DRIFT Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the North Hertfordshire local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 79 GREEN DRIFT sales from August 2014 and May 2024 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 2014 sale was for 7% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 7% below the HPI over time, until the May 2024 sale, where it falls to 23% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 23% below the HPI.

What might 79 GREEN DRIFT be worth now?
