8 PRIORY 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 two 8 PRIORY CLOSE sales from August 1996 and January 2003 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 August 1996 sale was for 39% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 39% above the HPI over time, until the January 2003 sale, where it falls to 28% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 28% above the HPI.
