2 RIDGELY DRIVE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Central Bedfordshire local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The four 2 RIDGELY DRIVE sales between May 2009 and August 2022 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 July 2014 sale was for 35% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 35% below the HPI over time, until the August 2022 sale, where it rises to 31% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 31% below the HPI.
