31 OSPREY CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Bedford local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three 31 OSPREY CLOSE sales between March 1996 and November 2008 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 July 2004 sale was for 15% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 15% below the HPI over time, until the November 2008 sale, where it falls to 24% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 24% below the HPI.
