2 MERLE WAY Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the South Cambridgeshire local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The four 2 MERLE WAY sales between June 2003 and February 2015 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 July 2007 sale was for 50% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 50% below the HPI over time, until the February 2015 sale, where it falls to 53% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 53% below the HPI.
