31 WESTERN ELMS AVENUE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the Reading local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 31 WESTERN ELMS AVENUE sales from February 2011 and August 2018 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 February 2011 sale was for 6% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 6% above the HPI over time, until the August 2018 sale, where it rises to 27% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 27% above the HPI.

What might 31 WESTERN ELMS AVENUE be worth now?
