39 HYDRUS 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 39 HYDRUS DRIVE sales from February 2007 and March 2016 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 February 2007 sale was for 21% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 21% below the HPI over time, until the March 2016 sale, where it rises to 16% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 16% below the HPI.
