9 BROOK CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Braintree local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 9 BROOK CLOSE sales from June 2001 and July 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 June 2001 sale was for 49% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 49% below the HPI over time, until the July 2016 sale, where it rises to 36% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 36% below the HPI.

What might 9 BROOK CLOSE be worth now?
