5 MIDSUMMER MEADOW 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 five 5 MIDSUMMER MEADOW sales between January 1997 and January 2023 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 January 2021 sale was for 14% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 14% below the HPI over time, until the January 2023 sale, where it rises to 5% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 5% below the HPI.

What might 5 MIDSUMMER MEADOW be worth now?

5 MIDSUMMER MEADOW might now be worth an estimated £660,440.

This is based on house price deflation of 4.3%, between January 2023 and December 2024, for detached houses, in the Reading local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 4.3% deflationary decrease is applied to the most recent sale price for 5 MIDSUMMER MEADOW of £690,000 on 16th January 2023. For the value to have decreased from £690,000 to £660,440 over the one month to December 2024, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 5 MIDSUMMER MEADOW has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Reading local authority area.
• The January 2023 sale price of £690,000 represented a fair market value for the property.
