2 THE CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Bracknell Forest local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three 2 THE CLOSE sales between December 1996 and April 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 November 2016 sale was for 6% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 6% below the HPI over time, until the April 2018 sale, where it rises to 6% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 6% above the HPI.
