27 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 27 RUFUS CLOSE sales from January 2015 and July 2020 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 January 2015 sale was for 22% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 22% below the HPI over time, until the July 2020 sale, where it rises to 20% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 20% below the HPI.
