18 HOBACRE CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Birmingham local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 18 HOBACRE CLOSE sales from March 2000 and April 2007 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 March 2000 sale was for 36% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 36% below the HPI over time, until the April 2007 sale, where it falls to 44% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 44% below the HPI.
