18 HAWTHORN 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 18 HAWTHORN CLOSE sales from November 1996 and November 2002 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 1996 sale was for 27% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 27% below the HPI over time, until the November 2002 sale, where it rises to 20% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 20% below the HPI.
