21 PENMAN 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 21 PENMAN CLOSE sales from December 1996 and October 2011 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 December 1996 sale was for 16% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 16% below the HPI over time, until the October 2011 sale, where it falls to 35% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 35% below the HPI.
