THE WHISPERS Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Cornwall local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The four THE WHISPERS sales between March 1999 and June 2019 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 2015 sale was for 165% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 165% above the HPI over time, until the June 2019 sale, where it rises to 185% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 185% above the HPI.
