BURSWOOD 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 BURSWOOD sales from August 2007 and April 2023 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 2007 sale was for 64% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 64% above the HPI over time, until the April 2023 sale, where it falls to 56% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 56% above the HPI.
