26 HIRSTWOOD Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Reading local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 26 HIRSTWOOD sales from August 2001 and October 2006 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 August 2001 sale was for 32% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 32% below the HPI over time, until the October 2006 sale, where it falls to 37% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 37% below the HPI.
