4 FRANCIS AVENUE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the St Albans local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The four 4 FRANCIS AVENUE sales between February 1997 and October 2019 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 June 2015 sale was for 9% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 9% below the HPI over time, until the October 2019 sale, where it rises to 6% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 6% below the HPI.
