THE WATER TOWER Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Warwick local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two THE WATER TOWER sales from August 1999 and July 2008 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 August 1999 sale was for 75% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 75% above the HPI over time, until the July 2008 sale, where it rises to 156% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 156% above the HPI.
