36 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 36 HIRSTWOOD sales from September 2021 and August 2024 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 September 2021 sale was for 43% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 43% below the HPI over time, until the August 2024 sale, where it rises to 39% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 39% below the HPI.

What might 36 HIRSTWOOD be worth now?
