9 MURRAY 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 three 9 MURRAY CLOSE sales between March 2003 and March 2019 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 2019 sale was for 34% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 34% below the HPI over time, until the March 2019 sale, where it rises to 32% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 32% below the HPI.

What might 9 MURRAY CLOSE be worth now?
