8 MERCER DRIVE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Maidstone local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The five 8 MERCER DRIVE sales between January 1999 and February 2021 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 June 2017 sale was for 4% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 4% above the HPI over time, until the February 2021 sale, where it rises to 10% above the HPI.
