27 WORDSWORTH ROAD 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 27 WORDSWORTH ROAD sales from November 1998 and August 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 November 1998 sale was for 30% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 30% below the HPI over time, until the August 2016 sale, where it falls to 31% below the HPI.
