186 WANTAGE ROAD 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 six 186 WANTAGE ROAD sales between March 1997 and November 2013 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 2012 sale was for 2% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 2% above the HPI over time, until the November 2013 sale, where it rises to 6% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 6% above the HPI.

What might 186 WANTAGE ROAD be worth now?
