HIGH POINT 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 HIGH POINT sales between January 2002 and May 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 January 2007 sale was for 223% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 223% above the HPI over time, until the May 2011 sale, where it rises to 286% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 286% above the HPI.
