ELM COTTAGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Exeter local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three ELM COTTAGE sales between June 1999 and January 2008 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 2002 sale was for 17% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 17% above the HPI over time, until the January 2008 sale, where it falls to 14% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 14% above the HPI.
