78 VILLIERS CLOSE 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 78 VILLIERS CLOSE sales from February 2000 and September 2016 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 February 2000 sale was for 11% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 11% above the HPI over time, until the September 2016 sale, where it falls to 17% below the HPI.
