HIGHLANDS Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Somerset local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two HIGHLANDS sales from November 2005 and January 2023 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 November 2005 sale was for 8% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 8% above the HPI over time, until the January 2023 sale, where it rises to 32% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 32% above the HPI.
