THE DOWNS Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Portsmouth local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two THE DOWNS sales from November 2020 and December 2021 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 2020 sale was for 175% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 175% above the HPI over time, until the December 2021 sale, where it rises to 262% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 262% above the HPI.
