THE FIRS Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Herefordshire local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two THE FIRS sales from February 2012 and December 2022 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 February 2012 sale was for 36% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 36% below the HPI over time, until the December 2022 sale, where it rises to 30% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 30% above the HPI.
