8 ROOKS CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the North Devon local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The six 8 ROOKS CLOSE sales between May 1995 and December 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 September 2021 sale was for 33% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 33% below the HPI over time, until the December 2024 sale, where it falls to 34% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 34% below the HPI.

What might 8 ROOKS CLOSE be worth now?
