FRESHWINDS Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Forest of Dean local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three FRESHWINDS sales between June 2001 and March 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 July 2007 sale was for 5% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 5% below the HPI over time, until the March 2017 sale, where it rises to 42% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 42% above the HPI.
