8 PUZZLE CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Forest of Dean local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 8 PUZZLE CLOSE sales from August 2015 and July 2023 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 2015 sale was for 26% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 26% below the HPI over time, until the July 2023 sale, where it rises to 24% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 24% below the HPI.
