9 KIRBY CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the West Oxfordshire local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 9 KIRBY CLOSE sales from January 1999 and February 2021 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 1999 sale was for 41% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 41% below the HPI over time, until the February 2021 sale, where it rises to 19% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 19% below the HPI.
