97 HOWARD DRIVE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the Maidstone local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 97 HOWARD DRIVE sales from July 2003 and June 2021 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 July 2003 sale roughly matched the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks roughly in line with the HPI over time, until the June 2021 sale, where it rises to 8% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 8% above the HPI.

What might 97 HOWARD DRIVE be worth now?
