28 POPLAR CLOSE 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 three 28 POPLAR CLOSE sales between July 2000 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 2001 sale was for 42% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 42% below the HPI over time, until the November 2003 sale, where it rises to 39% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 39% below the HPI.
