DOWNLAKE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the West Oxfordshire local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two DOWNLAKE sales from December 2016 and July 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 2016 sale was for 42% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 42% above the HPI over time, until the July 2025 sale, where it rises to 68% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 68% above the HPI.
