3 WESTCOTE 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 two 3 WESTCOTE ROAD sales from November 2004 and January 2010 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 November 2004 sale was for 7% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 7% above the HPI over time, until the January 2010 sale, where it falls to 26% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 26% below the HPI.

What might 3 WESTCOTE ROAD be worth now?
