8 DOWNWOOD CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the West Northamptonshire local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three 8 DOWNWOOD CLOSE sales between August 2000 and May 2014 have been plotted on the graph.

For example, the August 2007 sale was for 38% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 38% below the HPI over time, until the May 2014 sale, where it falls to 39% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 39% below the HPI.
