THE POPLARS 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 three THE POPLARS sales between November 1996 and January 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 July 1999 sale was for 37% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 37% above the HPI over time, until the January 2016 sale, where it falls to 24% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 24% above the HPI.
