56 LEAFIELD CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Gateshead local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 56 LEAFIELD CLOSE sales from December 2004 and May 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 December 2004 sale was for 53% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 53% above the HPI over time, until the May 2023 sale, where it falls to 26% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 26% above the HPI.
