278 HAMSTEAD ROAD Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Birmingham local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 278 HAMSTEAD ROAD sales from February 1998 and November 2003 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 February 1998 sale was for 44% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 44% below the HPI over time, until the November 2003 sale, where it rises to 16% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 16% below the HPI.
