3 MERLIN CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Amber Valley local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The four 3 MERLIN CLOSE sales between March 1995 and March 2009 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 August 2003 sale was for 13% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 13% above the HPI over time, until the March 2009 sale, where it falls to 2% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 2% below the HPI.
