5 BARKBY Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Wokingham local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 5 BARKBY sales from June 1997 and January 2015 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 June 1997 sale was for 4% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 4% below the HPI over time, until the January 2015 sale, where it falls to 12% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 12% below the HPI.
