8 SOUTHERN DRIVE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Birmingham local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three 8 SOUTHERN DRIVE sales between December 2004 and April 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 January 2016 sale was for 21% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 21% below the HPI over time, until the April 2017 sale, which was also at 21% below the HPI.
