SMITHY COTTAGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Staffordshire Moorlands local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The four SMITHY COTTAGE sales between February 1997 and April 2020 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 August 2013 sale was for 20% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 20% below the HPI over time, until the April 2020 sale, where it rises to 6% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 6% above the HPI.
