5 STEPHENSON CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the North Hertfordshire local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The five 5 STEPHENSON CLOSE sales between September 2001 and June 2021 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 March 2021 sale was for 25% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 25% below the HPI over time, until the June 2021 sale, where it rises to 18% below the HPI.
