18 CROFT WAY 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 18 CROFT WAY sales between May 1998 and August 2012 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 1999 sale was for 31% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 31% below the HPI over time, until the August 2012 sale, where it falls to 50% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 50% below the HPI.
