5 FIR CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the East Suffolk local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 5 FIR CLOSE sales from August 1997 and February 2024 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 1997 sale was for 71% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 71% above the HPI over time, until the February 2024 sale, where it falls to 16% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 16% above the HPI.
