16 THISTLEDOWN 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 two 16 THISTLEDOWN sales from January 2005 and March 2023 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 January 2005 sale was for 5% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 5% below the HPI over time, until the March 2023 sale, where it rises to 3% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 3% below the HPI.
