SMITHS COTTAGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the West Suffolk local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three SMITHS COTTAGE sales between November 2000 and August 2012 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 September 2009 sale was for 118% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 118% above the HPI over time, until the August 2012 sale, where it falls to 87% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 87% above the HPI.
