4 POPLAR CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Chelmsford local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 4 POPLAR CLOSE sales from June 2020 and August 2023 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 June 2020 sale was for 21% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 21% below the HPI over time, until the August 2023 sale, where it falls to 32% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 32% below the HPI.
