18 WHITBY 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 four 18 WHITBY CLOSE sales between August 2006 and August 2024 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 February 2018 sale was for 38% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 38% above the HPI over time, until the August 2024 sale, where it falls to 24% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 24% above the HPI.

What might 18 WHITBY CLOSE be worth now?
