2 MERLIN CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Bridgend local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 2 MERLIN CLOSE sales from November 1999 and October 2015 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 November 1999 sale was for 11% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 11% above the HPI over time, until the October 2015 sale, where it rises to 24% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 24% above the HPI.
