18 WATERSMEET 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 two 18 WATERSMEET CLOSE sales from June 2002 and September 2010 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 June 2002 sale was for 37% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 37% below the HPI over time, until the September 2010 sale, where it falls to 40% below the HPI.
