5 AUGUSTUS CLOSE 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 three 5 AUGUSTUS CLOSE sales between December 2006 and May 2019 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 December 2015 sale was for 44% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 44% below the HPI over time, until the May 2019 sale, where it rises to 26% below the HPI.
