ORCHARD HOUSE 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 four ORCHARD HOUSE sales between June 2000 and November 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 November 2009 sale was for 135% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 135% above the HPI over time, until the November 2011 sale, where it rises to 142% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 142% above the HPI.
