69 WESTERN ESPLANADE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Canterbury local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 69 WESTERN ESPLANADE sales from October 2012 and May 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 2012 sale was for 23% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 23% below the HPI over time, until the May 2017 sale, where it rises to 8% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 8% below the HPI.
