DELMORE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Central Bedfordshire local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two DELMORE sales from December 2005 and July 2024 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 December 2005 sale was for 14% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 14% above the HPI over time, until the July 2024 sale, where it falls to 22% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 22% below the HPI.
