POPLAR COTTAGE 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 two POPLAR COTTAGE sales from August 2015 and June 2021 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 2015 sale was for 39% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 39% above the HPI over time, until the June 2021 sale, where it rises to 68% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 68% above the HPI.
