17 HILL BOTTOM 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 four 17 HILL BOTTOM CLOSE sales between October 1996 and July 2023 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 May 2018 sale was for 11% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 11% below the HPI over time, until the July 2023 sale, where it rises to 7% below the HPI.
