HILLCROFT 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 two HILLCROFT sales from December 1999 and October 2013 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 December 1999 sale was for 51% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 51% above the HPI over time, until the October 2013 sale, where it falls to 36% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 36% above the HPI.
