ELM COTTAGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Vale of White Horse local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three ELM COTTAGE sales between September 2007 and April 2022 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 February 2011 sale was for 10% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 10% above the HPI over time, until the April 2022 sale, where it falls to 6% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 6% above the HPI.
