9 DOWNS CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Maidstone local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three 9 DOWNS CLOSE sales between January 1996 and December 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 June 2003 sale was for 19% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 19% below the HPI over time, until the December 2012 sale, where it rises to 16% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 16% below the HPI.
