8 ROUNDWOOD DRIVE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Welwyn Hatfield local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 8 ROUNDWOOD DRIVE sales from July 2002 and August 2007 have been plotted on the graph.

For example, the July 2002 sale was for 9% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 9% above the HPI over time, until the August 2007 sale, where it rises to 15% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 15% above the HPI.

What might 8 ROUNDWOOD DRIVE be worth now?
