51 SHERLOCK CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Cambridge local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three 51 SHERLOCK CLOSE sales between October 2000 and June 2010 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 July 2003 sale was for 60% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 60% below the HPI over time, until the June 2010 sale, where it rises to 54% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 54% below the HPI.
