3 ORCHARD CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Maldon local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 3 ORCHARD CLOSE sales from November 2007 and February 2013 have been plotted on the graph.

For example, the November 2007 sale was for 34% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 34% below the HPI over time, until the February 2013 sale, where it falls to 52% below the HPI.
