55 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 55 DOUGLAS CRESCENT sales from July 1999 and July 2005 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 1999 sale was for 52% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 52% below the HPI over time, until the July 2005 sale, where it rises to 41% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 41% below the HPI.
