18 BRAFFERTON CLOSE 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 two 18 BRAFFERTON CLOSE sales from August 1997 and October 2002 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 1997 sale was for 25% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 25% below the HPI over time, until the October 2002 sale, where it rises to 8% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 8% above the HPI.

What might 18 BRAFFERTON CLOSE be worth now?
