13 THE JAYS 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 THE JAYS sales between February 1995 and February 2002 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 October 1998 sale was for 53% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 53% above the HPI over time, until the February 2002 sale, where it falls to 44% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 44% above the HPI.
