31 WOLSTON CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Luton local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three 31 WOLSTON CLOSE sales between June 1997 and May 2005 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 2002 sale was for 32% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 32% below the HPI over time, until the May 2005 sale, where it falls to 37% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 37% below the HPI.
