5 BARN CROFT DRIVE 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 BARN CROFT DRIVE sales from April 2005 and October 2011 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 April 2005 sale was for 34% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 34% above the HPI over time, until the October 2011 sale, where it falls to 30% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 30% above the HPI.

What might 5 BARN CROFT DRIVE be worth now?
