ARETHUSA Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Swale local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three ARETHUSA sales between August 1999 and October 2014 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 October 2002 sale was for 19% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 19% above the HPI over time, until the October 2014 sale, where it falls to 3% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 3% below the HPI.
