31 MARSTON 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 31 MARSTON CLOSE sales between September 2007 and March 2012 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 August 2011 sale was for 54% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 54% below the HPI over time, until the March 2012 sale, where it rises to 40% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 40% below the HPI.
