3 NORTH 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 two 3 NORTH CLOSE sales from May 2012 and January 2014 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 2012 sale was for 60% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 60% below the HPI over time, until the January 2014 sale, where it rises to 43% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 43% below the HPI.
