CHRISTMAS COTTAGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Stroud local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two CHRISTMAS COTTAGE sales from December 1998 and July 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 December 1998 sale was for 19% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 19% below the HPI over time, until the July 2023 sale, where it rises to 32% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 32% above the HPI.
