62 WEST COMMON 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 two 62 WEST COMMON sales from February 2007 and July 2011 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 February 2007 sale was for 159% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 159% above the HPI over time, until the July 2011 sale, where it rises to 295% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 295% above the HPI.
