Is the price of house (STC) the sold price!

How come you didn't offer on House A? Were you simply not in the market back in January?

Correct.

Thank you, some very valid points, hadn't considered time of year as a factor, it may have been on as early as October. One house sold on the site in last 8 years probably doesn't give a sample size large enough to identify true market value either. As you mention its hard to put a monetary figure on things like location and view so edging towards going back in. Thank you for taking the time to respond in such detail.

I paid 10k more for my house than my friends on the next road over despite mine being a two bed and theirs being a three. Theirs is in much better condition and the rooms are bigger. However I have a much nicer and much more private garden and an amazing view. They're looking at a wall of houses. I'd have paid another 10k on top to get the house. When I sit in my garden on a summer evening drinking a glass of wine and watching the sunset I really don't worry about the price of other people's houses.;)
