DOVERN 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 two DOVERN sales from March 2011 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 March 2011 sale was for 472% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 472% above the HPI over time, until the September 2011 sale, where it falls to 337% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 337% above the HPI.
