4 THE SMITHY Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Birmingham local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The four 4 THE SMITHY sales between April 1996 and January 2012 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 November 2005 sale was for 15% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 15% below the HPI over time, until the January 2012 sale, where it falls to 27% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 27% below the HPI.
