WILLOW COTTAGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Canterbury local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two WILLOW COTTAGE sales from August 2007 and August 2011 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 August 2007 sale was for 21% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 21% above the HPI over time, until the August 2011 sale, where it rises to 71% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 71% above the HPI.

What might WILLOW COTTAGE be worth now?
