9 THE SHORT Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the West Berkshire local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three 9 THE SHORT sales between February 1995 and August 2007 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 2003 sale was for 63% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 63% below the HPI over time, until the August 2007 sale, where it rises to 62% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 62% below the HPI.
