26 HERON DRIVE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Luton local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The five 26 HERON DRIVE sales between December 1997 and May 2017 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 December 2011 sale was for 40% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 40% below the HPI over time, until the May 2017 sale, where it rises to 38% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 38% below the HPI.
