42 BETTERTONS CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the Cotswold local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three 42 BETTERTONS CLOSE sales between February 1997 and December 2008 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 2008 sale was for 49% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 49% below the HPI over time, until the December 2008 sale, where it rises to 29% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 29% below the HPI.
