17 RUFUS CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Test Valley local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three 17 RUFUS CLOSE sales between February 1997 and April 2017 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 2012 sale was for 29% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 29% below the HPI over time, until the April 2017 sale, where it rises to 27% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 27% below the HPI.
