488 BITTERNE ROAD EAST Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the Southampton local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The four 488 BITTERNE ROAD EAST sales between December 1997 and February 2022 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 September 2006 sale was for 7% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 7% below the HPI over time, until the February 2022 sale, where it rises to 4% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 4% below the HPI.
