4 FIRS CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Cotswold local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 4 FIRS CLOSE sales from August 2007 and June 2017 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 August 2007 sale was for 21% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 21% below the HPI over time, until the June 2017 sale, where it rises to 15% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 15% below the HPI.
