17 CASTLE CLOSE 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 17 CASTLE CLOSE sales between February 1996 and July 2014 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 August 2003 sale was for 31% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 31% below the HPI over time, until the July 2014 sale, where it falls to 36% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 36% below the HPI.
