CROSSING COTTAGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Central Bedfordshire local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three CROSSING COTTAGE sales between January 1998 and January 2024 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 2001 sale was for 71% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 71% below the HPI over time, until the January 2024 sale, where it rises to 37% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 37% above the HPI.
