MELROSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the County Durham local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two MELROSE sales from June 2017 and May 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 June 2017 sale was for 355% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 355% above the HPI over time, until the May 2022 sale, where it falls to 314% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 314% above the HPI.
