BEEHIVE COTTAGE 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 BEEHIVE COTTAGE sales between May 2000 and September 2011 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 October 2009 sale was for 48% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 48% below the HPI over time, until the September 2011 sale, where it rises to 46% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 46% below the HPI.
