25 THE CROFT 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 25 THE CROFT sales from November 2000 and December 2011 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 November 2000 sale was for 28% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 28% below the HPI over time, until the December 2011 sale, where it rises to 17% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 17% below the HPI.
