2 FIRST CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Wigan local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 2 FIRST CLOSE sales from January 2011 and October 2015 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 January 2011 sale was for 27% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 27% below the HPI over time, until the October 2015 sale, where it falls to 39% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 39% below the HPI.
