MERTON HOUSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Vale of White Horse local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three MERTON HOUSE sales between December 2000 and March 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 March 2016 sale was for 114% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 114% above the HPI over time, until the March 2018 sale, where it falls to 113% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 113% above the HPI.
