THE CROFT Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Wyre Forest local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two THE CROFT sales from September 2014 and June 2017 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 2014 sale was for 48% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 48% above the HPI over time, until the June 2017 sale, where it falls to 47% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 47% above the HPI.
