GRINTON 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 GRINTON COTTAGE sales between May 2000 and October 2017 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 August 2007 sale was for 58% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 58% above the HPI over time, until the October 2017 sale, where it rises to 89% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 89% above the HPI.
