5 MERCER CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Basingstoke and Deane local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three 5 MERCER CLOSE sales between May 1995 and February 2006 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 2005 sale was for 36% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 36% below the HPI over time, until the February 2006 sale, where it rises to 20% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 20% below the HPI.
