1 DEVA 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 two 1 DEVA CLOSE sales from October 2006 and October 2013 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 October 2006 sale was for 43% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 43% below the HPI over time, until the October 2013 sale, where it rises to 6% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 6% below the HPI.
