ELGIN 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 ELGIN sales between March 2007 and March 2021 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 June 2013 sale was for 38% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 38% above the HPI over time, until the March 2021 sale, where it rises to 40% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 40% above the HPI.
