3 COMET DRIVE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Bedford local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The four 3 COMET DRIVE sales between September 1999 and September 2008 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 2005 sale was for 29% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 29% below the HPI over time, until the September 2008 sale, where it falls to 33% below the HPI.
