38 ROYSTON ROAD 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 five 38 ROYSTON ROAD sales between June 2001 and May 2023 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 June 2018 sale was for 47% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 47% below the HPI over time, until the May 2023 sale, where it rises to 37% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 37% below the HPI.
