3 SPARKE CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the North Northamptonshire local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The four 3 SPARKE CLOSE sales between February 1998 and May 2014 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 May 2004 sale was for 22% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 22% below the HPI over time, until the May 2014 sale, where it falls to 30% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 30% below the HPI.
