FIRBANK Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Cheltenham local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two FIRBANK sales from May 2003 and October 2011 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 May 2003 sale was for 53% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 53% above the HPI over time, until the October 2011 sale, where it rises to 66% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 66% above the HPI.
