53 DOUGLAS CRESCENT Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Central Bedfordshire local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 53 DOUGLAS CRESCENT sales from March 1995 and June 1999 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 1995 sale was for 28% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 28% below the HPI over time, until the June 1999 sale, where it falls to 44% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 44% below the HPI.
