3 ROWLAND CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the Oxford local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 3 ROWLAND CLOSE sales from November 1997 and December 1998 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 November 1997 sale was for 25% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 25% above the HPI over time, until the December 1998 sale, where it rises to 28% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 28% above the HPI.

What might 3 ROWLAND CLOSE be worth now?
