4 FOSTER HILL ROAD Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average terraced house price in the Bedford local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 4 FOSTER HILL ROAD sales from May 1996 and March 1997 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 May 1996 sale was for 51% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 51% below the HPI over time, until the March 1997 sale, where it rises to 19% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 19% above the HPI.
