16 WILLIAM BOYS CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the Colchester local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The four 16 WILLIAM BOYS CLOSE sales between November 1999 and August 2018 have been plotted on the graph.

For example, the November 2005 sale was for 19% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 19% below the HPI over time, until the August 2018 sale, where it falls to 28% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 28% below the HPI.

What might 16 WILLIAM BOYS CLOSE be worth now?
