159 WATER STREET Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Cambridge local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three 159 WATER STREET sales between July 1997 and July 2007 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 September 1999 sale was for 23% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 23% below the HPI over time, until the July 2007 sale, where it rises to roughly the same level as the HPI. The line then continues to track in line with the HPI.
