18 RIDGEWOOD GARDENS Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the St Albans local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three 18 RIDGEWOOD GARDENS sales between November 1995 and March 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 March 2000 sale was for 12% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 12% below the HPI over time, until the March 2021 sale, where it falls to 17% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 17% below the HPI.
