HIGHTREES Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Torfaen local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three HIGHTREES sales between January 1999 and June 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 December 2002 sale was for 47% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 47% above the HPI over time, until the June 2015 sale, where it falls to 22% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 22% above the HPI.
