3 THE WRENS Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the South Cambridgeshire local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 3 THE WRENS sales from September 2000 and May 2023 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 September 2000 sale was for 25% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 25% above the HPI over time, until the May 2023 sale, where it falls to roughly the same level as the HPI. The line then continues to track in line with the HPI.
