43 SHEPHERD CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average terraced house price in the North Hertfordshire local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The six 43 SHEPHERD CLOSE sales between October 1996 and September 2021 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 January 2018 sale was for 14% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 14% below the HPI over time, until the September 2021 sale, where it rises to 12% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 12% below the HPI.

What might 43 SHEPHERD CLOSE be worth now?
