THE ORCHARDS Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the East Suffolk local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two THE ORCHARDS sales from January 1997 and January 2017 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 January 1997 sale was for 23% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 23% above the HPI over time, until the January 2017 sale, where it falls to 13% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 13% above the HPI.
