BALTAL 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 three BALTAL sales between January 2008 and September 2021 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 2013 sale was for 527% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 527% above the HPI over time, until the September 2021 sale, where it falls to 479% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 479% above the HPI.
