4 BITTERN 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 two 4 BITTERN CLOSE sales from May 2007 and April 2024 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 May 2007 sale was for 13% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 13% above the HPI over time, until the April 2024 sale, where it falls to 11% below the HPI.
