The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Gloucester local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 34 FORBES CLOSE sales from May 1998 and March 2013 have been plotted on the graph.

For example, the May 1998 sale was for 67% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 67% below the HPI over time, until the March 2013 sale, where it rises to 17% below the HPI.
