42 SMYTHIES AVENUE 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 SMYTHIES AVENUE sales from October 1998 and March 2017 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 October 1998 sale was for 37% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 37% below the HPI over time, until the March 2017 sale, where it rises to 29% below the HPI.
