THE FIRS Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the North Hertfordshire local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three THE FIRS sales between November 1999 and June 2010 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 February 2001 sale was for 52% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 52% above the HPI over time, until the June 2010 sale, where it falls to 21% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 21% above the HPI.
