17 HIGHFIELD 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 three 17 HIGHFIELD sales between September 1996 and September 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 December 2003 sale was for 17% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 17% above the HPI over time, until the September 2021 sale, where it rises to 43% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 43% above the HPI.
