FIELDWAYS Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the South Oxfordshire local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two FIELDWAYS sales from October 2013 and March 2015 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 2013 sale was for 20% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 20% below the HPI over time, until the March 2015 sale, where it falls to 27% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 27% below the HPI.
