SUNDOWN Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the South Oxfordshire local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two SUNDOWN sales from April 2019 and September 2022 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 April 2019 sale was for 67% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 67% above the HPI over time, until the September 2022 sale, where it falls to 60% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 60% above the HPI.
