CROSS COTTAGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Dorset local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The four CROSS COTTAGE sales between June 1997 and August 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 2007 sale was for 20% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 20% above the HPI over time, until the August 2013 sale, where it rises to 22% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 22% above the HPI.
