1 SWALLOW CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Central Bedfordshire local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 1 SWALLOW CLOSE sales from November 2005 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 2005 sale was for 23% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 23% below the HPI over time, until the August 2011 sale, where it rises to 20% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 20% below the HPI.
