40 SHORTS AVENUE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Bedford local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The four 40 SHORTS AVENUE sales between December 2002 and November 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 September 2013 sale was for 29% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 29% below the HPI over time, until the November 2024 sale, where it rises to 24% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 24% below the HPI.
