7 HIGH ELMS 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 7 HIGH ELMS sales between March 1996 and December 2021 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 2014 sale was for 128% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 128% above the HPI over time, until the December 2021 sale, where it rises to 143% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 143% above the HPI.
