STARLINGS Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Canterbury local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three STARLINGS sales between February 1998 and November 2014 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 1999 sale was for 14% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 14% above the HPI over time, until the November 2014 sale, where it rises to 17% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 17% above the HPI.
