8 COUNTER CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Dorset local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The four 8 COUNTER CLOSE sales between November 1996 and March 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 November 2016 sale was for 16% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 16% below the HPI over time, until the March 2022 sale, where it rises to 11% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 11% below the HPI.
