DOWN COTTAGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Isle of Wight local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two DOWN COTTAGE sales from December 2010 and January 2016 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 December 2010 sale was for 23% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 23% above the HPI over time, until the January 2016 sale, where it rises to 37% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 37% above the HPI.
