12 EARL CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Dorset local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 12 EARL CLOSE sales from July 2003 and October 2019 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 July 2003 sale was for 28% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 28% below the HPI over time, until the October 2019 sale, where it rises to 22% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 22% below the HPI.
