78 HIGH STREET 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 78 HIGH STREET sales from September 2007 and August 2012 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 September 2007 sale was for 49% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 49% above the HPI over time, until the August 2012 sale, where it rises to 50% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 50% above the HPI.
