5 ARMSTRONG SQUARE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Canterbury local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 5 ARMSTRONG SQUARE sales from July 2004 and August 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 July 2004 sale was for 32% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 32% below the HPI over time, until the August 2012 sale, where it falls to 36% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 36% below the HPI.
