1 JAPONICA 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 four 1 JAPONICA CLOSE sales between March 1995 and July 2022 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 March 2008 sale was for 45% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 45% below the HPI over time, until the July 2022 sale, where it rises to 25% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 25% below the HPI.
