164 GALSWORTHY DRIVE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the Reading local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three 164 GALSWORTHY DRIVE sales between June 2002 and August 2023 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 2004 sale was for 14% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 14% below the HPI over time, until the August 2023 sale, where it rises to 4% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 4% below the HPI.
