THE LOOKING GLASS Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Babergh local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two THE LOOKING GLASS sales from May 2002 and December 2011 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 May 2002 sale was for 15% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 15% below the HPI over time, until the December 2011 sale, where it rises to 7% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 7% above the HPI.
