6 MARTIN CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Cherwell local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three 6 MARTIN CLOSE sales between April 1995 and April 2006 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 September 1997 sale was for 14% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 14% above the HPI over time, until the April 2006 sale, where it falls to 1% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 1% below the HPI.
