6 FIR CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Stevenage local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 6 FIR CLOSE sales from October 2007 and December 2017 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 October 2007 sale was for 26% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 26% below the HPI over time, until the December 2017 sale, where it falls to 30% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 30% below the HPI.
