243 LUTON 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 243 LUTON ROAD sales from August 1995 and May 2010 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 1995 sale was for 46% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 46% below the HPI over time, until the May 2010 sale, where it rises to 26% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 26% below the HPI.
