8 DALE CLOSE 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 three 8 DALE CLOSE sales between November 1997 and November 2004 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 July 2000 sale was for 71% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 71% above the HPI over time, until the November 2004 sale, where it falls to 41% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 41% above the HPI.
