8 THE CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Mid Sussex local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 8 THE CLOSE sales from July 2002 and August 2004 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 July 2002 sale was for 2% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 2% below the HPI over time, until the August 2004 sale, where it rises to 13% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 13% above the HPI.
