BARN CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the South Oxfordshire local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The five BARN CLOSE sales between August 1995 and June 2010 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 September 2001 sale was for 16% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 16% above the HPI over time, until the June 2010 sale, where it falls to 13% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 13% above the HPI.
