The graph shows average house prices in countries from 1997 to 2014.

The line graph compares average house prices in three countries over the period of 18 years, from 1997 to 2014. Overall, all three countries witnessed a substantial increase in average house prices, with Country A consistently having the highest prices nearly every year. Notably, the average house prices in Country B and C followed a similar pattern throughout the period. It is worth mentioning that, despite the remarkable growth in average house prices in all three countries, each experienced a slight decline at some point during the period.
The average house price in Country A was the highest at both the beginning and end of the period. Starting at around 150k in 1997, the average house prices in Country A increased dramatically to just over 500k in 2003 before suddenly dropping to just below 500k after three years. Since then, there was a steady growth in house prices in Country A until the end of the period, reaching approximately 600k, which was the highest on the graph.
As for Countries B and C, they exhibited nearly similar trends in average house prices, with Country B showing higher figures. The average price for a house in both countries was at around 125k in 1997, a figure that then continuously rose reaching 350k in Country B and just below 250k in Country C. Similar to Country A, despite increasing remarkably, there was a slight decline in the average house prices in Country B and C in 2008. In the final years of the period, both Countries B and C experienced some fluctuations in average house prices, with Country B at around 500k and Country C just over 250k.
