196 FOSTER HILL ROAD Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the Bedford local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three 196 FOSTER HILL ROAD sales between July 1996 and October 2014 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 September 2004 sale was for 112% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 112% above the HPI over time, until the October 2014 sale, where it rises to 149% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 149% above the HPI.
