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 three ORCHARD HOUSE sales between September 1997 and February 2015 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 December 2006 sale was for 200% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 200% above the HPI over time, until the February 2015 sale, where it falls to 159% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 159% above the HPI.
