31 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 two 31 EMPRESS AVENUE sales from December 1996 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 December 1996 sale was for 174% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 174% above the HPI over time, until the August 2013 sale, where it rises to 176% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 176% above the HPI.
