36 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 two 36 GIBSON DRIVE sales from April 2001 and February 2010 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 April 2001 sale was for 29% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 29% below the HPI over time, until the February 2010 sale, where it falls to 34% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 34% below the HPI.
