31 KIRK CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Oxford local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 31 KIRK CLOSE sales from March 2005 and February 2018 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 March 2005 sale was for 7% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 7% below the HPI over time, until the February 2018 sale, where it rises to 15% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 15% above the HPI.
