8 MERLIN END 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 8 MERLIN END sales from March 2001 and January 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 March 2001 sale roughly matched the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks roughly in line with the HPI over time, until the January 2003 sale, where it falls to 18% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 18% below the HPI.
