27 AMES CLOSE 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 three 27 AMES CLOSE sales between May 1995 and August 2018 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 May 2002 sale was for 5% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 5% above the HPI over time, until the August 2018 sale, where it falls to roughly the same level as the HPI. The line then continues to track in line with the HPI.
