16 DOWNS ROAD Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Luton local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 16 DOWNS ROAD sales from November 2006 and October 2007 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 2006 sale was for 7% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 7% above the HPI over time, until the October 2007 sale, where it rises to 21% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 21% above the HPI.
