23 BIRCHWOOD DRIVE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Southend-on-Sea local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The four 23 BIRCHWOOD DRIVE sales between February 1997 and October 2017 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 December 2013 sale was for 14% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 14% below the HPI over time, until the October 2017 sale, where it falls to 21% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 21% below the HPI.
