POPPIES Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the West Berkshire local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two POPPIES sales from September 2005 and May 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 September 2005 sale was for 31% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 31% above the HPI over time, until the May 2017 sale, where it falls to 15% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 15% above the HPI.
