8 THE DOWNS Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the North Somerset local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The seven 8 THE DOWNS sales between June 1995 and March 2012 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 12% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 12% below the HPI over time, until the March 2012 sale, where it falls to 14% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 14% below the HPI.
