18 ORCHARD CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Maidstone local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three 18 ORCHARD CLOSE sales between April 1997 and October 2009 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 May 2008 sale was for 33% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 33% below the HPI over time, until the October 2009 sale, where it rises to 28% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 28% below the HPI.
