5 STARING CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Swindon local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 5 STARING CLOSE sales from April 1999 and August 2005 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 April 1999 sale was for 17% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 17% above the HPI over time, until the August 2005 sale, where it falls to 11% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 11% above the HPI.
