38 HERONS CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the East Suffolk local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three 38 HERONS CLOSE sales between March 1998 and July 2014 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 March 2000 sale was for 7% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 7% below the HPI over time, until the July 2014 sale, where it falls to 16% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 16% below the HPI.

What might 38 HERONS CLOSE be worth now?
