8 GATCOMBE 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 two 8 GATCOMBE CLOSE sales from July 1998 and May 2002 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 July 1998 sale was for 8% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 8% above the HPI over time, until the May 2002 sale, where it falls to 7% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 7% above the HPI.

What might 8 GATCOMBE CLOSE be worth now?
