14 ELGER CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Bedford local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 14 ELGER CLOSE sales from May 2009 and March 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 May 2009 sale was for 10% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 10% above the HPI over time, until the March 2010 sale, where it rises to 17% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 17% above the HPI.

What might 14 ELGER CLOSE be worth now?
