14 KINGSDOWN CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Wokingham local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The four 14 KINGSDOWN CLOSE sales between May 1998 and June 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 September 2017 sale was for 37% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 37% below the HPI over time, until the June 2021 sale, where it rises to 35% below the HPI.
