8 MOUNT CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Basingstoke and Deane local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three 8 MOUNT CLOSE sales between February 1997 and December 2008 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 November 1999 sale was for 67% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 67% above the HPI over time, until the December 2008 sale, where it falls to 55% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 55% above the HPI.

What might 8 MOUNT CLOSE be worth now?
