49 MERCURY CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average terraced house price in the Southampton local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The four 49 MERCURY CLOSE sales between January 1997 and December 2007 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 2004 sale was for 9% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 9% below the HPI over time, until the December 2007 sale, where it falls to 12% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 12% below the HPI.

What might 49 MERCURY CLOSE be worth now?
