9 THE FORGE 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 four 9 THE FORGE sales between March 2001 and December 2014 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 April 2007 sale was for 12% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 12% below the HPI over time, until the December 2014 sale, where it falls to 19% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 19% below the HPI.
