THE PALMS 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 THE PALMS sales between October 2001 and March 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 November 2002 sale was for 35% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 35% above the HPI over time, until the March 2022 sale, where it falls to 4% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 4% above the HPI.
