42 ERNEST ROAD 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 42 ERNEST ROAD sales from September 2007 and August 2018 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 September 2007 sale was for 49% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 49% below the HPI over time, until the August 2018 sale, where it rises to 27% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 27% below the HPI.
