9 COTTAGE CLOSE 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 two 9 COTTAGE CLOSE sales from May 1995 and September 2016 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 1995 sale was for 86% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 86% above the HPI over time, until the September 2016 sale, where it falls to 51% above the HPI.
