PIPPIN 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 three PIPPIN sales between August 2004 and April 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 January 2008 sale was for 99% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 99% above the HPI over time, until the April 2017 sale, where it falls to 83% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 83% above the HPI.
