8 DOWRY WALK Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Watford local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three 8 DOWRY WALK sales between August 1995 and December 2013 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 2007 sale was for 29% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 29% above the HPI over time, until the December 2013 sale, where it falls to 13% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 13% above the HPI.
