RIDGE HOUSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Dorset local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two RIDGE HOUSE sales from July 1998 and September 2009 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 1998 sale was for 149% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 149% above the HPI over time, until the September 2009 sale, where it rises to 166% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 166% above the HPI.
