2 NEWTON 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 two 2 NEWTON CLOSE sales from May 2002 and April 2024 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 2002 sale was for 40% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 40% below the HPI over time, until the April 2024 sale, where it falls to 45% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 45% below the HPI.
