17 MERLIN DRIVE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the East Cambridgeshire local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 17 MERLIN DRIVE sales from February 1998 and March 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 February 1998 sale was for 26% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 26% below the HPI over time, until the March 2023 sale, where it rises to 23% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 23% below the HPI.
