HIGH BROOMS Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the North Hertfordshire local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two HIGH BROOMS sales from July 1995 and March 2017 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 July 1995 sale was for 139% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 139% above the HPI over time, until the March 2017 sale, where it falls to 57% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 57% above the HPI.
