16 WARD CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the East Hertfordshire local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 16 WARD CLOSE sales from July 1999 and February 2016 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 July 1999 sale was for 42% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 42% below the HPI over time, until the February 2016 sale, where it rises to 41% below the HPI.
