6 SWALLOW 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 four 6 SWALLOW CLOSE sales between June 1995 and June 2007 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 June 2001 sale was for 22% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 22% below the HPI over time, until the June 2007 sale, where it rises to 16% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 16% below the HPI.
