BIRDS COTTAGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the South Norfolk local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two BIRDS COTTAGE sales from November 2002 and May 2006 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 November 2002 sale was for 18% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 18% below the HPI over time, until the May 2006 sale, where it falls to 29% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 29% below the HPI.
