59 THE ORCHARD 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 59 THE ORCHARD sales from February 2004 and March 2023 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 February 2004 sale was for 60% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 60% below the HPI over time, until the March 2023 sale, where it rises to 19% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 19% above the HPI.
