8 MERTON CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the South Oxfordshire local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three 8 MERTON CLOSE sales between May 1996 and December 2001 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 November 2000 sale was for 74% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 74% below the HPI over time, until the December 2001 sale, where it rises to 70% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 70% below the HPI.
