2 HOWELL 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 five 2 HOWELL CLOSE sales between January 2002 and June 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 May 2017 sale was for 44% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 44% below the HPI over time, until the June 2023 sale, where it rises to 41% below the HPI.
