11 THE FORGE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the County Durham local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three 11 THE FORGE sales between March 2001 and January 2015 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 August 2003 sale was for 1% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 1% above the HPI over time, until the January 2015 sale, where it falls to 15% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 15% below the HPI.
