22 RUFUS CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Test Valley local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 22 RUFUS CLOSE sales from July 1998 and November 2002 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 1998 sale was for 12% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 12% below the HPI over time, until the November 2002 sale, where it falls to 15% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 15% below the HPI.
