SUNDOWN Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Medway local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three SUNDOWN sales between July 1996 and June 2002 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 10% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 10% below the HPI over time, until the June 2002 sale, where it rises to 36% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 36% above the HPI.
