6 COLUMBA DRIVE 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 6 COLUMBA DRIVE sales from January 1996 and June 2024 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 January 1996 sale was for 3% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 3% above the HPI over time, until the June 2024 sale, where it falls to 16% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 16% below the HPI.
