About this briefing

Generated server-side at request time from 67,052arm's-length transactions in the Heart Homes dataset. YoY figures compare the rolling last-12-months window against the prior 12 months. The forecast section uses a least-squares linear extrapolation of the 12-month trailing series — it's a heuristic indicator, not an econometric projection. Methodology details live on the methodology page.
