2 SMITHY COTTAGES Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Staffordshire Moorlands local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 2 SMITHY COTTAGES sales from July 2000 and May 2020 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 2000 sale was for 49% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 49% below the HPI over time, until the May 2020 sale, where it falls to 63% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 63% below the HPI.
