39 RIDGEWAY 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 RIDGEWAY DRIVE sales from May 2000 and August 2024 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 May 2000 sale was for 49% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 49% below the HPI over time, until the August 2024 sale, where it rises to 34% below the HPI.
