THE FIRS Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the New Forest local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three THE FIRS sales between December 1996 and July 2023 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 2010 sale was for 35% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 35% above the HPI over time, until the July 2023 sale, where it rises to 46% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 46% above the HPI.
