2 MERTON CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the New Forest local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 2 MERTON CLOSE sales from March 1999 and June 2019 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 1999 sale was for 36% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 36% below the HPI over time, until the June 2019 sale, where it falls to 45% below the HPI.
