18 ELM WOOD CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Canterbury local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 18 ELM WOOD CLOSE sales from November 2001 and July 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 2001 sale was for 23% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 23% below the HPI over time, until the July 2024 sale, where it falls to 26% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 26% below the HPI.
