LARKSBRAE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Gateshead local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two LARKSBRAE sales from May 1997 and February 2016 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 May 1997 sale was for 32% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 32% below the HPI over time, until the February 2016 sale, where it rises to 24% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 24% above the HPI.
