5 MERSHAM GARDENS Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Southampton local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 5 MERSHAM GARDENS sales from January 1996 and September 2000 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 January 1996 sale was for 25% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 25% below the HPI over time, until the September 2000 sale, where it rises to 7% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 7% below the HPI.
