FIRSDOWN HOUSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Worthing local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two FIRSDOWN HOUSE sales from August 2008 and April 2012 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 August 2008 sale was for 17% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 17% above the HPI over time, until the April 2012 sale, where it rises to 22% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 22% above the HPI.
