4 ELM CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Cherwell local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 4 ELM CLOSE sales from October 2001 and May 2005 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 October 2001 sale was for 39% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 39% below the HPI over time, until the May 2005 sale, where it rises to 37% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 37% below the HPI.
