THE BEECHES 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 three THE BEECHES sales between July 1995 and January 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 March 1999 sale was for 52% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 52% above the HPI over time, until the January 2023 sale, where it falls to 45% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 45% above the HPI.
