DITFOORD Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Wealden local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three DITFOORD sales between August 1997 and January 2017 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 2000 sale was for 5% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 5% above the HPI over time, until the January 2017 sale, where it falls to roughly the same level as the HPI. The line then continues to track in line with the HPI.
