THE BOTHY Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the New Forest local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three THE BOTHY sales between January 1996 and March 2018 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 September 2000 sale was for 58% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 58% above the HPI over time, until the March 2018 sale, where it falls to 45% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 45% above the HPI.
