2 BLACKBIRD CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Mid Suffolk local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 2 BLACKBIRD CLOSE sales from August 1997 and May 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 August 1997 sale was for 6% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 6% below the HPI over time, until the May 2011 sale, where it falls to 7% below the HPI.
