21 THE MARTINS 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 three 21 THE MARTINS DRIVE sales between May 1997 and March 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 June 2005 sale was for 11% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 11% above the HPI over time, until the March 2024 sale, where it falls to 1% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 1% above the HPI.
