HOBBIT Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Cherwell local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three HOBBIT sales between March 1999 and April 2008 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 April 2005 sale was for 34% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 34% above the HPI over time, until the April 2008 sale, where it rises to 41% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 41% above the HPI.
