ORCHARD VILLA Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the North Yorkshire local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two ORCHARD VILLA sales from August 2002 and April 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 August 2002 sale was for 31% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 31% below the HPI over time, until the April 2016 sale, where it rises to 5% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 5% below the HPI.
