29 RIDGEWOOD DRIVE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the St Albans local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 29 RIDGEWOOD DRIVE sales from December 2012 and May 2013 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 2012 sale was for 10% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 10% above the HPI over time, until the May 2013 sale, where it falls to roughly the same level as the HPI. The line then continues to track in line with the HPI.
