THE FIRS Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Isle of Wight local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three THE FIRS sales between January 1998 and November 2016 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 March 2015 sale was for 27% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 27% below the HPI over time, until the November 2016 sale, where it rises to 17% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 17% below the HPI.
