MERLEWOOD Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Waverley local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two MERLEWOOD sales from June 1996 and May 2016 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 1996 sale was for 18% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 18% above the HPI over time, until the May 2016 sale, where it rises to 32% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 32% above the HPI.
