SWAN HOUSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Bedford local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two SWAN HOUSE sales from November 2015 and November 2023 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 2015 sale was for 69% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 69% above the HPI over time, until the November 2023 sale, where it falls to 43% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 43% above the HPI.
