2 EARLS 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 three 2 EARLS CLOSE sales between December 2003 and March 2022 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 2017 sale was for 31% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 31% below the HPI over time, until the March 2022 sale, where it rises to 15% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 15% below the HPI.
