278 OXFORD ROAD Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Cherwell local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 278 OXFORD ROAD sales from June 2000 and December 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 June 2000 sale was for 28% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 28% below the HPI over time, until the December 2002 sale, where it rises to 27% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 27% below the HPI.
