HIGH CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Dorset local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two HIGH CLOSE sales from December 1996 and August 2007 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 December 1996 sale was for 7% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 7% above the HPI over time, until the August 2007 sale, where it rises to 70% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 70% above the HPI.
