28 EMPRESS AVENUE 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 28 EMPRESS AVENUE sales between August 2001 and August 2018 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 2007 sale was for 39% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 39% above the HPI over time, until the August 2018 sale, where it falls to 7% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 7% above the HPI.

What might 28 EMPRESS AVENUE be worth now?
