FOSSE HOUSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the South Staffordshire local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two FOSSE HOUSE sales from May 1996 and June 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 May 1996 sale was for 79% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 79% above the HPI over time, until the June 2017 sale, where it falls to 54% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 54% above the HPI.
