77 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 three 77 MERCURY CLOSE sales between December 1995 and April 2002 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 June 2000 sale was for 6% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 6% below the HPI over time, until the April 2002 sale, where it rises to 4% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 4% above the HPI.

What might 77 MERCURY CLOSE be worth now?
