4 MERLEY DRIVE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Bournemouth Christchurch and Poole local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three 4 MERLEY DRIVE sales between September 2017 and March 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 May 2019 sale was for 46% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 46% above the HPI over time, until the March 2024 sale, where it rises to 54% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 54% above the HPI.
