49 BOWER STREET 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 four 49 BOWER STREET sales between March 1997 and August 2011 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 July 2003 sale was for 44% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 44% above the HPI over time, until the August 2011 sale, where it rises to 89% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 89% above the HPI.
