The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the Luton local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three 79 WICKSTEAD AVENUE sales between August 2006 and May 2023 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 October 2008 sale was for 13% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 13% below the HPI over time, until the May 2023 sale, where it rises to 22% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 22% above the HPI.
