52 LAYER 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 52 LAYER ROAD sales from November 2007 and July 2016 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 November 2007 sale was for 51% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 51% below the HPI over time, until the July 2016 sale, where it rises to 42% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 42% below the HPI.
