5 BIRCHWOOD 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 two 5 BIRCHWOOD DRIVE sales from March 2018 and July 2022 have been plotted on the graph.

For example, the March 2018 sale was for 29% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 29% below the HPI over time, until the July 2022 sale, where it rises to 26% below the HPI.
