16 SWALLOW CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Cherwell local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The four 16 SWALLOW CLOSE sales between August 1996 and October 2011 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 2004 sale was for 23% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 23% below the HPI over time, until the October 2011 sale, where it rises to 15% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 15% below the HPI.
