THE RED 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 THE RED HOUSE sales from April 1995 and September 2020 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 April 1995 sale was for 53% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 53% above the HPI over time, until the September 2020 sale, where it falls to 21% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 21% above the HPI.
