85 LUTON ROAD Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the St Albans local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The four 85 LUTON ROAD sales between March 1997 and June 2011 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 May 2007 sale roughly matched the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks roughly in line with the HPI over time, until the June 2011 sale, where it falls to 7% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 7% below the HPI.
