The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Isle of Wight local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The four 8 THE SHEILINGS sales between August 1996 and February 2025 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 December 2015 sale was for 19% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 19% below the HPI over time, until the February 2025 sale, where it falls to 24% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 24% below the HPI.
