96 FOLLY LANE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the St Albans local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The six 96 FOLLY LANE sales between September 1995 and May 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 September 2007 sale was for 22% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 22% below the HPI over time, until the May 2016 sale, where it rises to 22% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 22% above the HPI.

What might 96 FOLLY LANE be worth now?
