2 HOWDEN GARDENS Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Bedford local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three 2 HOWDEN GARDENS sales between November 2001 and September 2009 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 January 2004 sale was for 39% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 39% below the HPI over time, until the September 2009 sale, where it rises to 30% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 30% below the HPI.
