MERRION Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Walsall local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three MERRION sales between February 2017 and September 2019 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 March 2017 sale was for 11% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 11% below the HPI over time, until the September 2019 sale, where it rises to 8% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 8% above the HPI.
