12 RUFUS CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Test Valley local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three 12 RUFUS CLOSE sales between June 2007 and November 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 October 2016 sale was for 17% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 17% below the HPI over time, until the November 2022 sale, where it falls to 25% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 25% below the HPI.
