OUZEL HOUSE 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 OUZEL HOUSE sales from September 2009 and December 2011 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 September 2009 sale was for 21% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 21% below the HPI over time, until the December 2011 sale, where it rises to 13% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 13% below the HPI.
