42 KIRBY DRIVE 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 42 KIRBY DRIVE sales from August 2013 and January 2024 have been plotted on the graph.

For example, the August 2013 sale was for 17% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 17% below the HPI over time, until the January 2024 sale, where it rises to 16% below the HPI.
