12 OWLS RETREAT 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 four 12 OWLS RETREAT sales between March 1996 and December 2014 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 July 2011 sale roughly matched the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks roughly in line with the HPI over time, until the December 2014 sale, where it falls to 10% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 10% below the HPI.
