1 MERRINGTON HEIGHTS 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 1 MERRINGTON HEIGHTS sales from October 2003 and May 2005 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 October 2003 sale was for 64% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 64% above the HPI over time, until the May 2005 sale, where it rises to 127% above the HPI.
