2 FOREST CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Melton local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three 2 FOREST CLOSE sales between August 1995 and March 2018 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 July 2002 sale was for 10% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 10% above the HPI over time, until the March 2018 sale, where it falls to 19% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 19% below the HPI.
