The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the Luton local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three 26 WICKSTEAD AVENUE sales between April 1998 and December 2006 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 October 1998 sale was for 10% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 10% below the HPI over time, until the December 2006 sale, where it rises to 9% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 9% below the HPI.
