3 CLOUDED YELLOW CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Braintree local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three 3 CLOUDED YELLOW CLOSE sales between April 1996 and May 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 January 2001 sale was for 26% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 26% below the HPI over time, until the May 2018 sale, where it falls to 39% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 39% below the HPI.
