8 HELMSDALE CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Darlington local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three 8 HELMSDALE CLOSE sales between October 1999 and June 2009 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 March 2004 sale was for 11% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 11% below the HPI over time, until the June 2009 sale, where it falls to 21% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 21% below the HPI.

What might 8 HELMSDALE CLOSE be worth now?
