5 BOWERS 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 5 BOWERS CLOSE sales from October 1997 and June 2006 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 October 1997 sale was for 28% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 28% below the HPI over time, until the June 2006 sale, where it falls to 37% below the HPI.
