CATS CRADLE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Vale of White Horse local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three CATS CRADLE sales between March 1997 and August 2015 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 1997 sale was for 11% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 11% above the HPI over time, until the August 2015 sale, where it falls to 20% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 20% below the HPI.
