31 BOWATER CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Sunderland local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 31 BOWATER CLOSE sales from April 2014 and September 2019 have been plotted on the graph.

For example, the April 2014 sale was for 7% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 7% below the HPI over time, until the September 2019 sale, where it falls to 13% below the HPI.
