21 SOWERBY AVENUE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Luton local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three 21 SOWERBY AVENUE sales between August 2009 and April 2023 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 August 2021 sale was for 23% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 23% below the HPI over time, until the April 2023 sale, where it falls to 28% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 28% below the HPI.
