16 DALE CLOSE 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 16 DALE CLOSE sales from June 1998 and May 2014 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 1998 sale was for 52% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 52% above the HPI over time, until the May 2014 sale, where it rises to 57% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 57% above the HPI.
