7 BLACKWATER 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 7 BLACKWATER DRIVE sales from November 2023 and November 2024 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 2023 sale was for 14% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 14% above the HPI over time, until the November 2024 sale, where it falls to 8% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 8% above the HPI.
