2 WALKER CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the South Oxfordshire local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 2 WALKER CLOSE sales from January 2006 and March 2014 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 2006 sale was for 43% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 43% below the HPI over time, until the March 2014 sale, where it falls to 50% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 50% below the HPI.
