2 SOMERTON CLOSE 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 two 2 SOMERTON CLOSE sales from January 1996 and August 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 1996 sale was for 22% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 22% above the HPI over time, until the August 2009 sale, where it falls to 8% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 8% below the HPI.
