4 MERTON AVENUE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Bassetlaw local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 4 MERTON AVENUE sales from May 2006 and October 2018 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 2006 sale was for 18% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 18% below the HPI over time, until the October 2018 sale, where it falls to 25% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 25% below the HPI.
