1 EMPRESS AVENUE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Colchester local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three 1 EMPRESS AVENUE sales between July 2004 and March 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 July 2010 sale was for 58% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 58% above the HPI over time, until the March 2019 sale, where it falls to 28% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 28% above the HPI.
