13 THE CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Northumberland local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The four 13 THE CLOSE sales between July 1997 and November 2020 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 January 2014 sale was for 39% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 39% below the HPI over time, until the November 2020 sale, where it rises to 31% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 31% below the HPI.
