78 BLENHEIM DRIVE 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 78 BLENHEIM DRIVE sales between July 1998 and February 2010 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 August 2004 sale was for 27% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 27% below the HPI over time, until the February 2010 sale, where it falls to 32% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 32% below the HPI.
