20 MARTIN CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Cherwell local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 20 MARTIN CLOSE sales from November 1995 and June 1997 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 1995 sale was for 9% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 9% above the HPI over time, until the June 1997 sale, where it rises to 11% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 11% above the HPI.
