13 THE SHORT Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the West Berkshire local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The four 13 THE SHORT sales between November 2007 and November 2021 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 January 2015 sale was for 30% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 30% below the HPI over time, until the November 2021 sale, where it falls to 36% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 36% below the HPI.
