15 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 15 RUFUS CLOSE sales between January 1995 and November 2019 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 April 2009 sale was for 18% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 18% below the HPI over time, until the November 2019 sale, where it rises to 17% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 17% below the HPI.
