THE FIRS Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Leeds local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two THE FIRS sales from July 2001 and November 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 July 2001 sale was for 201% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 201% above the HPI over time, until the November 2018 sale, where it falls to 172% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 172% above the HPI.
