40 SYCAMORE 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 40 SYCAMORE ROAD sales from December 2005 and October 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 December 2005 sale was for 48% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 48% below the HPI over time, until the October 2018 sale, where it falls to 49% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 49% below the HPI.
