5 BIRKDALE CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Canterbury local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The four 5 BIRKDALE CLOSE sales between December 1999 and July 2010 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 2007 sale was for 50% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 50% above the HPI over time, until the July 2010 sale, where it rises to 65% above the HPI.
