The image is a line graph of the real value of average house prices from 1983 to 2021. The graph shows average real house prices rising from 1983 until 1989, declining until 1994, steady until 1999 and then rising very sharply until 2008, reaching circa £280,000. After 2009 average real house prices decline and then hover in the range of £210,000 to £250,000 up to 2021. The graph also displays the straight trend line for the entire 1983–2021 period depicting a marked upward gradient.
