28 SOUTER DRIVE 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 28 SOUTER DRIVE sales between May 2006 and January 2023 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 November 2020 sale was for 19% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 19% above the HPI over time, until the January 2023 sale, where it rises to 21% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 21% above the HPI.

What might 28 SOUTER DRIVE be worth now?
