2 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 2 HIGHFIELD sales between August 2000 and August 2012 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 September 2006 sale was for 32% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 32% above the HPI over time, until the August 2012 sale, where it rises to 39% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 39% above the HPI.
