16 COMET DRIVE 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 16 COMET DRIVE sales between September 1999 and November 2005 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 2003 sale was for 29% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 29% below the HPI over time, until the November 2005 sale, where it falls to 35% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 35% below the HPI.
