14 RAINBOW ROAD 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 14 RAINBOW ROAD sales between April 2004 and March 2023 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 October 2020 sale was for 14% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 14% above the HPI over time, until the March 2023 sale, where it falls to 12% above the HPI.
