26 DOWDING 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 26 DOWDING CLOSE sales from November 2004 and April 2021 have been plotted on the graph.

For example, the November 2004 sale was for 29% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 29% below the HPI over time, until the April 2021 sale, where it falls to 31% below the HPI.
