2 THE CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the West Northamptonshire local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three 2 THE CLOSE sales between May 2008 and August 2022 have been plotted on the graph.

For example, the January 2015 sale was for 34% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 34% below the HPI over time, until the August 2022 sale, where it rises to 31% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 31% below the HPI.
