79 GROVE ROAD Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the North Hertfordshire local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three 79 GROVE ROAD sales between April 1997 and February 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 June 2002 sale was for 34% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 34% above the HPI over time, until the February 2012 sale, where it falls to 17% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 17% above the HPI.
