97 DOWNLANDS AVENUE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Worthing local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three 97 DOWNLANDS AVENUE sales between August 1997 and June 2021 have been plotted on the graph.

For example, the September 2017 sale was for 25% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 25% below the HPI over time, until the June 2021 sale, where it rises to 24% below the HPI.
