KUALA Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Cornwall local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two KUALA sales from September 2001 and November 2024 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 September 2001 sale was for 56% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 56% below the HPI over time, until the November 2024 sale, where it rises to 41% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 41% below the HPI.
