3 MERLIN END 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 3 MERLIN END sales from November 2000 and August 2013 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 2000 sale was for 11% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 11% below the HPI over time, until the August 2013 sale, where it falls to 15% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 15% below the HPI.
