28 HIGHDOWN HILL ROAD 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 three 28 HIGHDOWN HILL ROAD sales between March 2001 and October 2020 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 2007 sale was for 15% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 15% below the HPI over time, until the October 2020 sale, where it rises to 7% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 7% below the HPI.
