3 OSPREY 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 OSPREY CLOSE sales from January 2017 and September 2018 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 January 2017 sale was for 64% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 64% below the HPI over time, until the September 2018 sale, where it rises to 52% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 52% above the HPI.
