23 DOWNS CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Maidstone local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three 23 DOWNS CLOSE sales between August 1995 and April 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 September 1997 sale was for 25% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 25% below the HPI over time, until the April 2002 sale, where it falls to 28% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 28% below the HPI.
