1 SPARROW DRIVE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Stevenage local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 1 SPARROW DRIVE sales from December 1997 and November 2010 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 December 1997 sale was for 4% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 4% below the HPI over time, until the November 2010 sale, where it falls to 12% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 12% below the HPI.
