55 THORNTON 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 55 THORNTON DRIVE sales from May 1997 and October 2003 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 May 1997 sale was for 29% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 29% above the HPI over time, until the October 2003 sale, where it falls to 6% above the HPI.
