3 SHELFORD CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the West Northamptonshire local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 3 SHELFORD CLOSE sales from June 1997 and September 2016 have been plotted on the graph.

For example, the June 1997 sale was for 54% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 54% below the HPI over time, until the September 2016 sale, where it falls to 56% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 56% below the HPI.
