5 WARD CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the East Hertfordshire local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 5 WARD CLOSE sales from March 2007 and July 2011 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 2007 sale was for 37% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 37% below the HPI over time, until the July 2011 sale, where it rises to 32% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 32% below the HPI.
