5 ESSEX CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Stevenage local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 5 ESSEX CLOSE sales from July 2016 and June 2022 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 July 2016 sale was for 8% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 8% above the HPI over time, until the June 2022 sale, where it rises to 11% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 11% above the HPI.
