TIMBERS 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 TIMBERS sales between December 1995 and July 2013 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 January 1997 sale was for 11% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 11% above the HPI over time, until the July 2013 sale, where it falls to 5% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 5% below the HPI.
