3 BALAS DRIVE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Swale local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 3 BALAS DRIVE sales from December 1999 and July 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 December 1999 sale was for 19% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 19% below the HPI over time, until the July 2002 sale, where it rises to 14% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 14% below the HPI.
