CANBERRA 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 two CANBERRA sales from March 2000 and September 2013 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 March 2000 sale was for 22% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 22% below the HPI over time, until the September 2013 sale, where it rises to 7% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 7% above the HPI.

What might CANBERRA be worth now?

CANBERRA might now be worth an estimated £847,412.

This is based on house price inflation of 61.4%, between September 2013 and February 2025, for detached houses, in the South Oxfordshire local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 61.4% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for CANBERRA of £525,000 on 27th September 2013. For the value to have increased from £525,000 to £847,412 over the twelve years and seven months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of CANBERRA has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the South Oxfordshire local authority area.
• The September 2013 sale price of £525,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
• The size, condition, and specification of CANBERRA has not materially changed since September 2013.
