32 GIBSON 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 five 32 GIBSON DRIVE sales between July 2001 and July 2015 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 March 2007 sale was for 24% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 24% below the HPI over time, until the July 2015 sale, where it falls to 25% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 25% below the HPI.
