2 GRAFTON CLOSE 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 five 2 GRAFTON CLOSE sales between July 1997 and November 2013 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 May 2011 sale was for 40% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 40% below the HPI over time, until the November 2013 sale, where it rises to 33% below the HPI.
