26 MARTIN CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the East Cambridgeshire local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The four 26 MARTIN CLOSE sales between March 1995 and May 2022 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 2010 sale was for 37% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 37% below the HPI over time, until the May 2022 sale, which was also at 37% below the HPI.
