MERRIAMS Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Dacorum local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two MERRIAMS sales from July 2000 and June 2009 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 July 2000 sale was for 163% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 163% above the HPI over time, until the June 2009 sale, where it falls to 110% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 110% above the HPI.
