5 WESTWOOD AVENUE 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 four 5 WESTWOOD AVENUE sales between April 1999 and August 2015 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 2011 sale was for 27% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 27% below the HPI over time, until the August 2015 sale, where it falls to 28% below the HPI.
