40 RIDGEWOOD DRIVE 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 two 40 RIDGEWOOD DRIVE sales from September 2012 and October 2021 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 September 2012 sale was for 25% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 25% above the HPI over time, until the October 2021 sale, where it falls to 13% above the HPI.
