7 STEPS CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Exeter local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three 7 STEPS CLOSE sales between October 1995 and February 2021 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 1998 sale was for 47% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 47% below the HPI over time, until the February 2021 sale, where it falls to 55% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 55% below the HPI.
