4 HOBBY CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Stoke-on-Trent local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 4 HOBBY CLOSE sales from March 1997 and July 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 1997 sale was for 33% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 33% above the HPI over time, until the July 2018 sale, where it rises to 45% above the HPI.
