HARBLEDOWN Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Swale local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two HARBLEDOWN sales from August 2007 and October 2015 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 2007 sale was for 6% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 6% above the HPI over time, until the October 2015 sale, where it falls to 19% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 19% below the HPI.
