32 LONGACRES 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 three 32 LONGACRES sales between February 1999 and July 2012 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 2003 sale was for 21% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 21% below the HPI over time, until the July 2012 sale, where it falls to 25% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 25% below the HPI.
