THREE BIRCHES Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the New Forest local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two THREE BIRCHES sales from July 1996 and February 2008 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 1996 sale was for 162% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 162% above the HPI over time, until the February 2008 sale, where it rises to 313% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 313% above the HPI.
