YELLOW HAMMER COTTAGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the South Oxfordshire local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three YELLOW HAMMER COTTAGE sales between January 2001 and August 2011 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 2001 sale was for 57% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 57% above the HPI over time, until the August 2011 sale, where it rises to 87% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 87% above the HPI.
