78 KIRBY DRIVE 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 four 78 KIRBY DRIVE sales between July 1997 and October 2018 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 March 2008 sale was for 24% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 24% above the HPI over time, until the October 2018 sale, where it falls to 27% below the HPI.
