6 MEADOWSWEET DRIVE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Bedford local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The five 6 MEADOWSWEET DRIVE sales between September 1995 and August 2003 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 April 1999 sale was for 29% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 29% below the HPI over time, until the August 2003 sale, where it falls to 32% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 32% below the HPI.
