34 BROWNING DRIVE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the North Hertfordshire local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three 34 BROWNING DRIVE sales between December 1996 and August 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 November 1998 sale was for 27% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 27% below the HPI over time, until the August 2005 sale, where it rises to 25% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 25% below the HPI.

What might 34 BROWNING DRIVE be worth now?
