2 ALTON 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 two 2 ALTON DRIVE sales from March 2008 and September 2016 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 March 2008 sale was for 54% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 54% above the HPI over time, until the September 2016 sale, where it rises to 94% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 94% above the HPI.
