FOREST WAY Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the New Forest local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three FOREST WAY sales between March 1999 and August 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 28% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 28% above the HPI over time, until the August 2023 sale, where it rises to 50% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 50% above the HPI.
