CAPRICORN Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Cornwall local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two CAPRICORN sales from June 2000 and January 2012 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 June 2000 sale was for 48% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 48% above the HPI over time, until the January 2012 sale, where it rises to 72% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 72% above the HPI.
