THE OLD FORGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Wychavon local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two THE OLD FORGE sales from October 2008 and July 2012 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 October 2008 sale was for 89% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 89% above the HPI over time, until the July 2012 sale, where it falls to 73% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 73% above the HPI.
