5 GAYHURST CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the Reading local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 5 GAYHURST CLOSE sales from September 2004 and March 2022 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 September 2004 sale was for 11% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 11% below the HPI over time, until the March 2022 sale, where it rises to 3% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 3% above the HPI.

What might 5 GAYHURST CLOSE be worth now?
