26 HYDRUS DRIVE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Central Bedfordshire local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 26 HYDRUS DRIVE sales from January 1997 and December 1999 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 January 1997 sale was for 29% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 29% below the HPI over time, until the December 1999 sale, where it rises to 17% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 17% below the HPI.
