55 LONGACRES Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the St Albans local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The four 55 LONGACRES sales between April 1999 and January 2012 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 2005 sale was for 31% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 31% below the HPI over time, until the January 2012 sale, where it rises to 19% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 19% below the HPI.
