7 THE CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Northumberland local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three 7 THE CLOSE sales between February 1997 and May 2003 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 September 1998 sale was for 39% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 39% below the HPI over time, until the May 2003 sale, where it rises to 36% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 36% below the HPI.
