16 THE BIRCHES Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the South Oxfordshire local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three 16 THE BIRCHES sales between March 2000 and May 2024 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 November 2009 sale was for 25% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 25% below the HPI over time, until the May 2024 sale, where it falls to 34% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 34% below the HPI.
