6 MERLIN CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Cheltenham local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 6 MERLIN CLOSE sales from September 2006 and February 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 September 2006 sale was for 17% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 17% below the HPI over time, until the February 2024 sale, where it rises to 9% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 9% below the HPI.
