9 BOWATER CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Sunderland local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 9 BOWATER CLOSE sales from November 2014 and October 2024 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 2014 sale was for 9% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 9% below the HPI over time, until the October 2024 sale, where it falls to 17% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 17% below the HPI.
