16 STERLING CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Cherwell local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The four 16 STERLING CLOSE sales between August 1996 and September 2017 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 October 2001 sale was for 37% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 37% below the HPI over time, until the September 2017 sale, where it rises to 35% below the HPI.
