5 SOUTH CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Swansea local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 5 SOUTH CLOSE sales from May 2002 and July 2013 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 2002 sale was for 37% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 37% above the HPI over time, until the July 2013 sale, where it falls to 28% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 28% above the HPI.
