18 HIGHERTOWN Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Cornwall local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 18 HIGHERTOWN sales from September 2002 and July 2013 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 September 2002 sale was for 29% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 29% below the HPI over time, until the July 2013 sale, where it rises to 15% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 15% below the HPI.
