OAKDALE 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 five OAKDALE sales between July 1996 and October 2021 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 November 2017 sale was for 69% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 69% above the HPI over time, until the October 2021 sale, where it rises to 70% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 70% above the HPI.
