18 GOLDCREST CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average terraced house price in the Luton local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three 18 GOLDCREST CLOSE sales between June 2000 and September 2005 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 April 2005 sale was for 28% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 28% above the HPI over time, until the September 2005 sale, where it rises to 32% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 32% above the HPI.

What might 18 GOLDCREST CLOSE be worth now?
