70 WARDOWN CRESCENT Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Luton local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 70 WARDOWN CRESCENT sales from December 2015 and October 2023 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 December 2015 sale was for 6% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 6% below the HPI over time, until the October 2023 sale, where it rises to 26% above the HPI.
