FARTHINGS Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Bromsgrove local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two FARTHINGS sales from February 2006 and February 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 February 2006 sale was for 219% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 219% above the HPI over time, until the February 2017 sale, where it falls to 159% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 159% above the HPI.
