78 CARINA DRIVE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Central Bedfordshire local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three 78 CARINA DRIVE sales between September 2007 and September 2020 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 July 2011 sale was for 27% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 27% below the HPI over time, until the September 2020 sale, where it falls to 30% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 30% below the HPI.
