The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Bedford local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 8B BUSHMEAD AVENUE sales from October 1997 and August 2009 have been plotted on the graph.

For example, the October 1997 sale was for 32% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 32% above the HPI over time, until the August 2009 sale, where it falls to 29% above the HPI.
