2A DRIFTWOOD AVENUE 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 2A DRIFTWOOD AVENUE sales from May 2019 and May 2020 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 2019 sale was for 42% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 42% below the HPI over time, until the May 2020 sale, where it rises to 40% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 40% below the HPI.
