3 MELBURY CLOSE 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 four 3 MELBURY CLOSE sales between August 2008 and June 2023 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 September 2020 sale was for 19% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 19% below the HPI over time, until the June 2023 sale, where it rises to 11% below the HPI.
