16 RUFUS CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Test Valley local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The four 16 RUFUS CLOSE sales between March 1999 and November 2009 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 June 2004 sale was for 22% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 22% below the HPI over time, until the November 2009 sale, where it falls to 30% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 30% below the HPI.
