1 MORETON END CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the St Albans local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The four 1 MORETON END CLOSE sales between October 1996 and October 2010 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 February 2006 sale was for 15% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 15% below the HPI over time, until the October 2010 sale, where it rises to 14% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 14% below the HPI.

What might 1 MORETON END CLOSE be worth now?
