44 HICKLING CLOSE 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 two 44 HICKLING CLOSE sales from June 2017 and August 2018 have been plotted on the graph.

For example, the June 2017 sale was for 45% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 45% below the HPI over time, until the August 2018 sale, where it rises to 34% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 34% below the HPI.
