3 MEADOW CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the East Hertfordshire local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The four 3 MEADOW CLOSE sales between November 1996 and January 2022 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 August 2014 sale was for 9% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 9% below the HPI over time, until the January 2022 sale, where it falls to 10% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 10% below the HPI.
