6 HOCKETTS CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the South Oxfordshire local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 6 HOCKETTS CLOSE sales from February 1995 and November 2012 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 February 1995 sale was for 30% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 30% above the HPI over time, until the November 2012 sale, where it falls to roughly the same level as the HPI. The line then continues to track in line with the HPI.
