8 SLATER CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Bedford local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 8 SLATER CLOSE sales from January 1998 and October 2012 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 January 1998 sale was for 25% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 25% below the HPI over time, until the October 2012 sale, where it falls to 31% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 31% below the HPI.

What might 8 SLATER CLOSE be worth now?
