8 ELDRIDGE 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 two 8 ELDRIDGE CLOSE sales from February 2010 and July 2013 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 February 2010 sale was for 66% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 66% below the HPI over time, until the July 2013 sale, where it rises to 3% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 3% below the HPI.

What might 8 ELDRIDGE CLOSE be worth now?
