8 KIRBY 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 KIRBY CLOSE sales between December 1995 and July 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 December 2005 sale was for 19% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 19% above the HPI over time, until the July 2010 sale, where it falls to 14% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 14% above the HPI.
