1 COWAN CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Somerset local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 1 COWAN CLOSE sales from October 1998 and November 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 October 1998 sale was for 35% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 35% below the HPI over time, until the November 2012 sale, where it falls to 39% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 39% below the HPI.
