79 KETTON CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the Luton local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three 79 KETTON CLOSE sales between June 2013 and February 2022 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 September 2019 sale was for 4% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 4% above the HPI over time, until the February 2022 sale, where it rises to 8% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 8% above the HPI.

What might 79 KETTON CLOSE be worth now?

This is based on house price inflation of 4.8%, between February 2022 and December 2024, for semi-detached houses, in the Luton local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 4.8% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 79 KETTON CLOSE of £335,000 on 24th February 2022. For the value to have increased from £335,000 to £351,241 over the one year and two months to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 79 KETTON CLOSE has moved in line with the HPI for semi-detached houses in the Luton local authority area.
