CROSS FARM 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 three CROSS FARM sales between October 2005 and August 2021 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 February 2012 sale was for 66% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 66% above the HPI over time, until the August 2021 sale, where it falls to 60% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 60% above the HPI.
