5 MERTON CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Leeds local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 5 MERTON CLOSE sales from July 1997 and March 2020 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 July 1997 sale was for 63% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 63% below the HPI over time, until the March 2020 sale, where it rises to 39% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 39% below the HPI.
