23 DARLOW DRIVE 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 23 DARLOW DRIVE sales from March 1995 and February 2012 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 March 1995 sale was for 93% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 93% above the HPI over time, until the February 2012 sale, where it falls to 54% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 54% above the HPI.
