3 GARDEN CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Watford local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three 3 GARDEN CLOSE sales between August 1997 and December 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 April 2007 sale was for 56% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 56% above the HPI over time, until the December 2013 sale, where it falls to 37% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 37% above the HPI.
