23 MORTON 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 three 23 MORTON CLOSE sales between May 2004 and October 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 2015 sale was for 7% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 7% below the HPI over time, until the October 2024 sale, where it falls to 25% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 25% below the HPI.

What might 23 MORTON CLOSE be worth now?

23 MORTON CLOSE might now be worth an estimated £177,421.

This is based on house price inflation of 5.6%, between October 2024 and February 2025, for detached houses, in the County Durham local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 5.6% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 23 MORTON CLOSE of £168,000 on 2nd October 2024. For the value to have increased from £168,000 to £177,421 over the one year and eight months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:
