GERONA Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Braintree local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two GERONA sales from February 1998 and August 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 February 1998 sale was for 8% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 8% below the HPI over time, until the August 2011 sale, where it falls to 24% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 24% below the HPI.
