19 BALE CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average terraced house price in the Colchester local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three 19 BALE CLOSE sales between January 1998 and January 2017 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 May 2008 sale was for 12% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 12% above the HPI over time, until the January 2017 sale, where it falls to 7% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 7% above the HPI.

What might 19 BALE CLOSE be worth now?
