15 MATHEWS CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Stevenage local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 15 MATHEWS CLOSE sales from September 1997 and June 2000 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 September 1997 sale was for 107% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 107% above the HPI over time, until the June 2000 sale, where it falls to 68% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 68% above the HPI.
