9 ORCHID CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Swale local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three 9 ORCHID CLOSE sales between June 2000 and December 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 July 2004 sale was for 35% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 35% below the HPI over time, until the December 2023 sale, where it falls to 43% below the HPI.
