The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Colchester local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three 12 ELMWOOD DRIVE sales between December 1996 and August 2011 have been plotted on the graph.

For example, the August 2001 sale was for 19% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 19% below the HPI over time, until the August 2011 sale, where it rises to 13% below the HPI.
