159 GARDENIA AVENUE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average terraced house price in the Luton local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 159 GARDENIA AVENUE sales from February 1997 and December 1998 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 February 1997 sale was for 5% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 5% above the HPI over time, until the December 1998 sale, where it rises to 18% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 18% above the HPI.
