48 GIBSON DRIVE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Central Bedfordshire local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three 48 GIBSON DRIVE sales between January 2001 and February 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 May 2004 sale was for 21% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 21% below the HPI over time, until the February 2007 sale, where it falls to 26% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 26% below the HPI.
