THE HIVE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Bath and North East Somerset local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two THE HIVE sales from June 2000 and March 2017 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 June 2000 sale was for 54% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 54% above the HPI over time, until the March 2017 sale, where it falls to 22% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 22% above the HPI.
