ELMET COTTAGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the North Yorkshire local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The four ELMET COTTAGE sales between August 1996 and November 2019 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 September 2007 sale was for 1% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 1% below the HPI over time, until the November 2019 sale, where it falls to 13% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 13% below the HPI.
