RATHGAR Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Dorset local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three RATHGAR sales between September 2000 and July 2022 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 June 2015 sale was for 137% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 137% above the HPI over time, until the July 2022 sale, where it falls to 130% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 130% above the HPI.
