29 DITCHLING CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the Luton local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three 29 DITCHLING CLOSE sales between August 1997 and September 2024 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 June 2000 sale was for 24% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 24% above the HPI over time, until the September 2024 sale, where it falls to 13% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 13% above the HPI.
