THE FIRS Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the East Suffolk local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three THE FIRS sales between October 2003 and September 2011 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 July 2006 sale was for 19% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 19% above the HPI over time, until the September 2011 sale, where it falls to 10% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 10% below the HPI.
