3 MERTON CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Sunderland local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 3 MERTON CLOSE sales from November 2019 and June 2024 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 November 2019 sale was for 20% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 20% above the HPI over time, until the June 2024 sale, where it falls to 12% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 12% above the HPI.
