8 LOWESWATER CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Cumberland local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three 8 LOWESWATER CLOSE sales between February 1998 and August 2016 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 July 2000 sale was for 35% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 35% above the HPI over time, until the August 2016 sale, where it falls to 23% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 23% above the HPI.

What might 8 LOWESWATER CLOSE be worth now?
