18 MARTIN 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 three 18 MARTIN CLOSE sales between October 1995 and May 2012 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 January 2004 sale was for 25% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 25% below the HPI over time, until the May 2012 sale, where it rises to 2% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 2% above the HPI.
