79 MERLIN DRIVE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Central Bedfordshire local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The five 79 MERLIN DRIVE sales between July 1997 and August 2010 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 October 2006 sale was for 46% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 46% below the HPI over time, until the August 2010 sale, where it rises to 45% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 45% below the HPI.
