15 DOWNLANDS Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the North Hertfordshire local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 15 DOWNLANDS sales from November 1997 and October 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 1997 sale was for 12% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 12% above the HPI over time, until the October 2011 sale, where it rises to 19% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 19% above the HPI.
