THE FIRS Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the South Oxfordshire local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three THE FIRS sales between May 1999 and June 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 2005 sale was for 95% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 95% above the HPI over time, until the June 2021 sale, where it rises to 108% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 108% above the HPI.
