1 MAGNA 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 MAGNA CLOSE sales between May 1995 and August 2011 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 November 2004 sale was for 10% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 10% below the HPI over time, until the August 2011 sale, where it falls to 16% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 16% below the HPI.
