42 OAKFIELD ROAD 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 42 OAKFIELD ROAD sales between December 1998 and October 2007 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 April 2002 sale was for 96% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 96% above the HPI over time, until the October 2007 sale, where it falls to 38% below the HPI.
