THE QUEST Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Dorset local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two THE QUEST sales from August 2008 and May 2013 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 August 2008 sale was for 53% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 53% below the HPI over time, until the May 2013 sale, where it rises to 45% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 45% above the HPI.
