The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Colchester local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three 5 SPRUCE CLOSE sales between May 2001 and December 2020 have been plotted on the graph.

For example, the March 2006 sale was for 24% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 24% below the HPI over time, until the December 2020 sale, where it falls to 27% below the HPI.
