The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Colchester local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 8 BLACKWATER AVENUE sales from May 2002 and August 2006 have been plotted on the graph.

For example, the May 2002 sale was for 2% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 2% above the HPI over time, until the August 2006 sale, where it falls to 11% below the HPI.
