8 SOMER FIELDS 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 two 8 SOMER FIELDS sales from February 2003 and December 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 February 2003 sale was for 44% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 44% above the HPI over time, until the December 2022 sale, where it rises to 58% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 58% above the HPI.
