34 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 four 34 MERGANSER DRIVE sales between April 1996 and October 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 2012 sale was for 3% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 3% below the HPI over time, until the October 2023 sale, where it rises to 5% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 5% above the HPI.
