4 THE JAYS 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 three 4 THE JAYS sales between May 1995 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 November 1999 sale was for 64% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 64% above the HPI over time, until the December 2014 sale, where it falls to 48% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 48% above the HPI.
