14 FRANCIS GROVES CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Bedford local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three 14 FRANCIS GROVES CLOSE sales between February 1997 and July 2009 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 2003 sale roughly matched the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks roughly in line with the HPI over time, until the July 2009 sale, where it rises to 6% above the HPI.
