13 SHEARS CRESCENT 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 13 SHEARS CRESCENT sales between March 1995 and December 2014 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 2000 sale was for 2% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 2% below the HPI over time, until the December 2014 sale, where it rises to 16% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 16% above the HPI.

What might 13 SHEARS CRESCENT be worth now?

13 SHEARS CRESCENT might now be worth an estimated £588,863.

This is based on house price inflation of 50%, between December 2014 and December 2024, for detached houses, in the Colchester local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 50% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 13 SHEARS CRESCENT of £392,500 on 19th December 2014. For the value to have increased from £392,500 to £588,863 over the ten years to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 13 SHEARS CRESCENT has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Colchester local authority area.
• The December 2014 sale price of £392,500 represented a fair market value for the property.
