42 RUTHVEN CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Milton Keynes local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The four 42 RUTHVEN CLOSE sales between March 2000 and November 2022 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 2016 sale was for 67% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 67% below the HPI over time, until the November 2022 sale, where it rises to 61% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 61% below the HPI.
