1 RUFFORD CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Watford local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 1 RUFFORD CLOSE sales from February 2000 and August 2001 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 February 2000 sale was for 78% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 78% above the HPI over time, until the August 2001 sale, where it rises to 86% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 86% above the HPI.
