26 COTTAGE 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 three 26 COTTAGE DRIVE sales between May 1999 and May 2020 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 August 2000 sale was for 32% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 32% below the HPI over time, until the May 2020 sale, where it falls to 45% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 45% below the HPI.
