THE BUSHES Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Shropshire local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three THE BUSHES sales between July 1996 and November 2011 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 2003 sale was for 6% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 6% below the HPI over time, until the November 2011 sale, where it falls to 21% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 21% below the HPI.
