18 GAINSBOROUGH CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the Wokingham local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The seven 18 GAINSBOROUGH CLOSE sales between January 1997 and April 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 March 2021 sale was for 8% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 8% below the HPI over time, until the April 2023 sale, where it rises to 4% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 4% below the HPI.

What might 18 GAINSBOROUGH CLOSE be worth now?
