MERRIFIELDS Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the West Suffolk local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three MERRIFIELDS sales between April 1995 and July 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 October 1997 sale was for 57% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 57% above the HPI over time, until the July 2018 sale, where it falls to 26% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 26% above the HPI.
