THE RAFTERS Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Braintree local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two THE RAFTERS sales from June 2001 and February 2007 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 June 2001 sale was for 22% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 22% above the HPI over time, until the February 2007 sale, where it falls to 13% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 13% below the HPI.
