16 HIGH FIRS CRESCENT Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the St Albans local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three 16 HIGH FIRS CRESCENT sales between March 2009 and June 2021 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 October 2015 sale roughly matched the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks roughly in line with the HPI over time, until the June 2021 sale, where it rises to 35% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 35% above the HPI.
