WOODPECKERS Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Somerset local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three WOODPECKERS sales between December 1998 and April 2018 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 February 2004 sale was for 73% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 73% above the HPI over time, until the April 2018 sale, where it falls to 54% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 54% above the HPI.
