STONECROFT 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 STONECROFT sales from November 2000 and July 2002 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 November 2000 sale was for 75% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 75% above the HPI over time, until the July 2002 sale, where it falls to 60% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 60% above the HPI.
