73 MERCIA ROAD Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the North Hertfordshire local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 73 MERCIA ROAD sales from August 1998 and June 2015 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 August 1998 sale was for 43% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 43% below the HPI over time, until the June 2015 sale, where it falls to 45% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 45% below the HPI.
