The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Watford local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The four 9 RUFFORD CLOSE sales between December 1999 and January 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 November 2013 sale was for 63% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 63% above the HPI over time, until the January 2023 sale, where it falls to 46% above the HPI.
