16 SHELLEY 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 SHELLEY CLOSE sales from August 1999 and August 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 August 1999 sale roughly matched the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks roughly in line with the HPI over time, until the August 2007 sale, where it falls to 12% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 12% below the HPI.
