CROWS NEST Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Somerset local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two CROWS NEST sales from October 1996 and August 2009 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 October 1996 sale was for 79% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 79% above the HPI over time, until the August 2009 sale, where it rises to 91% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 91% above the HPI.
