22B MERTON CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Sandwell local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three 22B MERTON CLOSE sales between May 1998 and December 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 February 2002 sale was for 2% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 2% above the HPI over time, until the December 2005 sale, where it falls to 12% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 12% below the HPI.
