CARP COTTAGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Stroud local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three CARP COTTAGE sales between March 1997 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 July 1997 sale was for 73% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 73% below the HPI over time, until the September 2013 sale, where it rises to 28% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 28% below the HPI.
