5 PRIORS 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 three 5 PRIORS CLOSE sales between December 1999 and November 2018 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 May 2003 sale was for 3% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 3% above the HPI over time, until the November 2018 sale, where it falls to 11% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 11% below the HPI.
