18 THORNTON DRIVE 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 seven 18 THORNTON DRIVE sales between June 1997 and July 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 April 2016 sale was for 26% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 26% below the HPI over time, until the July 2023 sale, where it rises to 16% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 16% below the HPI.
