12 DOLPHIN CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Worcester local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The five 12 DOLPHIN CLOSE sales between January 1995 and February 2018 have been plotted on the graph.

For example, the July 2016 sale was for 40% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 40% below the HPI over time, until the February 2018 sale, where it rises to 36% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 36% below the HPI.
