42 WORDSWORTH 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 three 42 WORDSWORTH ROAD sales between August 2008 and June 2024 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 2018 sale was for 26% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 26% below the HPI over time, until the June 2024 sale, where it rises to 21% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 21% below the HPI.
