THE COTTAGE 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 THE COTTAGE sales from August 2003 and February 2016 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 August 2003 sale was for 162% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 162% above the HPI over time, until the February 2016 sale, where it falls to 114% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 114% above the HPI.
