42 BENFIELD 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 42 BENFIELD CLOSE sales between January 2009 and May 2022 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 2014 sale was for 17% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 17% above the HPI over time, until the May 2022 sale, where it rises to 29% above the HPI.
