THE TRAIL 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 TRAIL sales from April 2013 and October 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 2013 sale was for 190% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 190% above the HPI over time, until the October 2020 sale, where it falls to 136% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 136% above the HPI.
