TOUCHSTONE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Canterbury local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three TOUCHSTONE sales between September 1997 and May 2024 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 2019 sale was for 60% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 60% above the HPI over time, until the May 2024 sale, where it rises to 167% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 167% above the HPI.
