19 DOWNESWAY Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Castle Point local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three 19 DOWNESWAY sales between October 2004 and September 2015 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 May 2011 sale was for 23% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 23% below the HPI over time, until the September 2015 sale, where it falls to 28% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 28% below the HPI.
