5 JAMES CLOSE 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 5 JAMES CLOSE sales between December 1999 and April 2015 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 April 2011 sale was for 46% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 46% below the HPI over time, until the April 2015 sale, where it falls to 52% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 52% below the HPI.
