HARBY Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Tendring local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two HARBY sales from July 1996 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 1996 sale was for 23% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 23% above the HPI over time, until the March 2017 sale, where it rises to 40% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 40% above the HPI.
