256 HILLS ROAD Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Cambridge local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three 256 HILLS ROAD sales between October 2000 and September 2012 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 August 2001 sale was for 158% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 158% above the HPI over time, until the September 2012 sale, where it falls to 136% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 136% above the HPI.
