1 WILLOW WAY 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 WILLOW WAY sales from June 2000 and November 2012 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 June 2000 sale was for 32% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 32% below the HPI over time, until the November 2012 sale, where it rises to 27% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 27% below the HPI.
