31 COLUMBA DRIVE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Central Bedfordshire local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The four 31 COLUMBA DRIVE sales between December 1999 and October 2016 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 2006 sale was for 19% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 19% below the HPI over time, until the October 2016 sale, where it rises to 17% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 17% below the HPI.
