5 DORSET CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Ipswich local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three 5 DORSET CLOSE sales between December 2003 and August 2020 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 2012 sale was for 13% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 13% below the HPI over time, until the August 2020 sale, where it rises to roughly the same level as the HPI. The line then continues to track in line with the HPI.
