40 SOWERBY AVENUE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Luton local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 40 SOWERBY AVENUE sales from November 1995 and March 2013 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 November 1995 sale was for 4% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 4% above the HPI over time, until the March 2013 sale, where it falls to 2% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 2% above the HPI.
