4 WORDSWORTH CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the Cherwell local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 4 WORDSWORTH CLOSE sales from May 1997 and March 2024 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 May 1997 sale was for 90% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 90% above the HPI over time, until the March 2024 sale, where it falls to 47% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 47% above the HPI.

What might 4 WORDSWORTH CLOSE be worth now?
