MERIDA Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Colchester local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three MERIDA sales between November 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 March 1998 sale was for 26% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 26% below the HPI over time, until the August 2010 sale, where it rises to 21% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 21% below the HPI.
