SQUIRRELS Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Maidstone local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two SQUIRRELS sales from November 2006 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 November 2006 sale was for 37% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 37% above the HPI over time, until the May 2017 sale, where it falls to 25% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 25% above the HPI.
