13 DOWNS CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Swansea local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 13 DOWNS CLOSE sales from January 2004 and November 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 January 2004 sale was for 12% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 12% below the HPI over time, until the November 2008 sale, where it falls to 38% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 38% below the HPI.
