MERLEWOOD Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Rotherham local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two MERLEWOOD sales from February 2004 and November 2013 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 February 2004 sale was for 141% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 141% above the HPI over time, until the November 2013 sale, where it falls to 133% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 133% above the HPI.
