1 BARRY CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the St Albans local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three 1 BARRY CLOSE sales between October 1995 and August 2015 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 1999 sale was for 50% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 50% below the HPI over time, until the August 2015 sale, where it falls to 52% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 52% below the HPI.
