8 SOUTH CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Swansea local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 8 SOUTH CLOSE sales from October 1995 and March 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 October 1995 sale was for 129% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 129% above the HPI over time, until the March 2016 sale, where it falls to 37% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 37% above the HPI.

What might 8 SOUTH CLOSE be worth now?
