38 POPLAR AVENUE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Luton local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 38 POPLAR AVENUE sales from November 2018 and November 2020 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 November 2018 sale was for 42% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 42% below the HPI over time, until the November 2020 sale, where it rises to 33% below the HPI.
