4 BLUEBELL 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 two 4 BLUEBELL CLOSE sales from December 1997 and October 2001 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 December 1997 sale was for 26% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 26% above the HPI over time, until the October 2001 sale, where it falls to 21% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 21% above the HPI.

What might 4 BLUEBELL CLOSE be worth now?
