169 MERGANSER DRIVE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Cherwell local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three 169 MERGANSER DRIVE sales between March 1997 and November 2009 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 May 2002 sale was for 35% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 35% below the HPI over time, until the November 2009 sale, where it falls to 38% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 38% below the HPI.

What might 169 MERGANSER DRIVE be worth now?

169 MERGANSER DRIVE might now be worth an estimated £353,897.

This is based on house price inflation of 76.9%, between November 2009 and February 2025, for detached houses, in the Cherwell local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 76.9% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 169 MERGANSER DRIVE of £200,000 on 19th November 2009. For the value to have increased from £200,000 to £353,897 over the sixteen years and nine months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 169 MERGANSER DRIVE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Cherwell local authority area.
• The November 2009 sale price of £200,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
