1 STAR CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Sandwell local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three 1 STAR CLOSE sales between February 1998 and October 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 July 2004 sale was for 25% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 25% below the HPI over time, until the October 2008 sale, where it rises to 22% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 22% below the HPI.
