SOUTHCROFT 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 SOUTHCROFT sales between July 1999 and June 2018 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 March 2008 sale was for 34% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 34% above the HPI over time, until the June 2018 sale, where it rises to 141% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 141% above the HPI.
