53 ORCHARD 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 two 53 ORCHARD DRIVE sales from April 1998 and July 2019 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 April 1998 sale was for 82% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 82% below the HPI over time, until the July 2019 sale, where it rises to 100% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 100% above the HPI.
