THE FIRS Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Vale of White Horse local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three THE FIRS sales between August 2013 and May 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 December 2015 sale was for 27% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 27% below the HPI over time, until the May 2023 sale, where it rises to 10% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 10% above the HPI.
