38 THE CRESCENT Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the West Berkshire local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 38 THE CRESCENT sales from May 1999 and May 2009 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 May 1999 sale was for 29% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 29% below the HPI over time, until the May 2009 sale, where it rises to 23% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 23% below the HPI.
