3 FIELD CLOSE 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 three 3 FIELD CLOSE sales between July 2010 and January 2023 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 October 2013 sale was for 37% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 37% below the HPI over time, until the January 2023 sale, where it falls to 38% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 38% below the HPI.
