38 KEMSLEY 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 38 KEMSLEY DRIVE sales from July 2020 and August 2023 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 2020 sale was for 17% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 17% below the HPI over time, until the August 2023 sale, where it falls to 20% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 20% below the HPI.
