OAKDENE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the South Oxfordshire local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two OAKDENE sales from July 2003 and August 2017 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 July 2003 sale roughly matched the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks in line HPI over time, until the August 2017 sale, which was also at roughly the same level as the HPI.
