5 BLUE SPRUCE CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Bedford local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three 5 BLUE SPRUCE CLOSE sales between June 2001 and December 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 March 2003 sale was for 95% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 95% above the HPI over time, until the December 2021 sale, where it falls to 85% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 85% above the HPI.

What might 5 BLUE SPRUCE CLOSE be worth now?
