The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Stevenage local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The four 49 SPARROW DRIVE sales between January 1997 and December 2012 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 August 2006 sale was for 21% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 21% below the HPI over time, until the December 2012 sale, which was also at 21% below the HPI.
49 SPARROW DRIVE might now be worth an estimated £513,200.
