MERRION Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Dorset local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two MERRION sales from October 2001 and June 2005 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 2001 sale was for 31% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 31% below the HPI over time, until the June 2005 sale, where it falls to 35% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 35% below the HPI.
