53 MELBOURN ROAD 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 two 53 MELBOURN ROAD sales from February 2002 and July 2010 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 February 2002 sale was for 27% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 27% above the HPI over time, until the July 2010 sale, where it falls to 13% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 13% below the HPI.
