3 MERLIN CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the City of Bristol local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three 3 MERLIN CLOSE sales between August 1996 and July 2011 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 March 1999 sale was for 4% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 4% above the HPI over time, until the July 2011 sale, where it falls to 17% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 17% below the HPI.
