1 MACARTHUR CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Reading local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 1 MACARTHUR CLOSE sales from October 2006 and August 2017 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 October 2006 sale was for 15% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 15% below the HPI over time, until the August 2017 sale, where it falls to 23% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 23% below the HPI.

What might 1 MACARTHUR CLOSE be worth now?
