THE SURPRISE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Isle of Wight local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three THE SURPRISE sales between April 2005 and February 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 December 2020 sale was for 58% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 58% above the HPI over time, until the February 2024 sale, where it falls to 44% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 44% above the HPI.
