SELLS CLOSE HOUSE 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 SELLS CLOSE HOUSE sales from June 2005 and February 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 June 2005 sale was for 92% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 92% above the HPI over time, until the February 2021 sale, where it rises to 101% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 101% above the HPI.
