4 ORCHARD CLOSE 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 4 ORCHARD CLOSE sales between July 1995 and January 2021 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 August 2015 sale was for 7% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 7% above the HPI over time, until the January 2021 sale, where it rises to 19% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 19% above the HPI.

What might 4 ORCHARD CLOSE be worth now?
