26 DENHAM CLOSE 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 DENHAM CLOSE sales between July 2001 and December 2019 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 2002 sale was for 41% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 41% below the HPI over time, until the December 2019 sale, where it falls to 43% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 43% below the HPI.

What might 26 DENHAM CLOSE be worth now?
