18 MERLEY DRIVE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Bournemouth Christchurch and Poole local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The four 18 MERLEY DRIVE sales between August 1995 and May 2017 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 December 2013 sale was for 4% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 4% below the HPI over time, until the May 2017 sale, where it rises to 51% above the HPI.
