51 EMPRESS 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 51 EMPRESS AVENUE sales from October 2006 and December 2009 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 2006 sale was for 13% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 13% below the HPI over time, until the December 2009 sale, where it rises to 67% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 67% above the HPI.
