MERRIDEN Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Gateshead local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three MERRIDEN sales between October 2000 and August 2018 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 2006 sale was for 15% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 15% above the HPI over time, until the August 2018 sale, where it falls to 2% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 2% above the HPI.
