1 SPARKWELL CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Sunderland local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three 1 SPARKWELL CLOSE sales between October 1999 and October 2004 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 May 2001 sale was for 13% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 13% below the HPI over time, until the October 2004 sale, where it falls to 16% below the HPI.
