56 DOWNLANDS Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Stevenage local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The six 56 DOWNLANDS sales between February 1997 and March 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 November 2006 sale was for 25% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 25% below the HPI over time, until the March 2012 sale, where it falls to 27% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 27% below the HPI.
