3 GRAFTON CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the St Albans local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The four 3 GRAFTON CLOSE sales between September 1998 and November 2012 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 2009 sale was for 20% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 20% below the HPI over time, until the November 2012 sale, where it falls to 23% below the HPI.
