8 THE AVENUE 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 THE AVENUE sales from January 2006 and March 2021 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 January 2006 sale was for 52% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 52% above the HPI over time, until the March 2021 sale, where it rises to 81% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 81% above the HPI.
