38 CALDER CLOSE 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 38 CALDER CLOSE sales between April 1996 and March 2008 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 October 2007 sale was for 34% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 34% below the HPI over time, until the March 2008 sale, where it falls to 36% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 36% below the HPI.

What might 38 CALDER CLOSE be worth now?

This is based on house price inflation of 68%, between March 2008 and February 2025, for detached houses, in the Reading local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 68% inflationary increase is applied to the most recent sale price for 38 CALDER CLOSE of £262,500 on 28th March 2008. For the value to have increased from £262,500 to £440,992 over the seventeen years and one month to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:
