69 MERLIN WAY Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Cherwell local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three 69 MERLIN WAY sales between July 1997 and December 2007 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 December 2001 sale was for 23% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 23% below the HPI over time, until the December 2007 sale, where it falls to 30% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 30% below the HPI.
