5 FOREDOWN CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Eastbourne local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 5 FOREDOWN CLOSE sales from March 2016 and October 2022 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 2016 sale was for 52% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 52% above the HPI over time, until the October 2022 sale, where it rises to 85% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 85% above the HPI.
