THE FIRS Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Shropshire local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two THE FIRS sales from December 1996 and May 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 December 1996 sale was for 31% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 31% below the HPI over time, until the May 2012 sale, where it rises to 16% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 16% above the HPI.
