4 THORNTON DRIVE 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 THORNTON DRIVE sales between October 1997 and December 2011 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 2000 sale was for 26% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 26% below the HPI over time, until the December 2011 sale, where it falls to 31% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 31% below the HPI.
