13 THE POPLARS 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 13 THE POPLARS sales between November 2005 and November 2021 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 2007 sale was for 41% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 41% below the HPI over time, until the November 2021 sale, where it rises to 21% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 21% below the HPI.
