24 FIRMSTONE 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 two 24 FIRMSTONE CLOSE sales from September 2002 and May 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 September 2002 sale was for 32% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 32% below the HPI over time, until the May 2023 sale, where it rises to 29% below the HPI.
