The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Reading local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 50 WESTERN ELMS AVENUE sales from February 2001 and August 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 February 2001 sale was for 6% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 6% below the HPI over time, until the August 2022 sale, where it rises to 4% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 4% above the HPI.
50 WESTERN ELMS AVENUE might now be worth an estimated £724,247.
