8 MERLIN 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 three 8 MERLIN CLOSE sales between July 2007 and September 2015 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 November 2013 sale was for 13% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 13% below the HPI over time, until the September 2015 sale, where it rises to 11% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 11% below the HPI.
