2 HARCOURT DRIVE 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 two 2 HARCOURT DRIVE sales from July 1996 and August 2001 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 July 1996 sale was for 20% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 20% below the HPI over time, until the August 2001 sale, where it rises to 9% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 9% below the HPI.
