20 WEST VIEW CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the East Devon local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three 20 WEST VIEW CLOSE sales between June 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 August 1997 sale was for 35% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 35% below the HPI over time, until the October 2010 sale, where it rises to 29% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 29% below the HPI.

What might 20 WEST VIEW CLOSE be worth now?
