1 DARWIN CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Stafford local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 1 DARWIN CLOSE sales from February 2017 and October 2023 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 2017 sale was for 30% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 30% below the HPI over time, until the October 2023 sale, where it rises to 27% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 27% below the HPI.
