49 ARMSTRONG 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 49 ARMSTRONG CLOSE sales from August 1996 and September 2009 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 1996 sale was for 29% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 29% below the HPI over time, until the September 2009 sale, where it rises to 18% below the HPI.
