23 DOUGLAS ROAD 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 23 DOUGLAS ROAD sales from August 1999 and April 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 August 1999 sale was for 17% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 17% above the HPI over time, until the April 2012 sale, where it rises to 37% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 37% above the HPI.
