43 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 five 43 SHORTS AVENUE sales between May 2003 and August 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 August 2018 sale was for 28% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 28% below the HPI over time, until the August 2024 sale, where it rises to 24% below the HPI.
