56 SYCAMORE ROAD 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 two 56 SYCAMORE ROAD sales from August 1998 and March 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 August 1998 sale was for 57% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 57% below the HPI over time, until the March 2011 sale, where it rises to 54% below the HPI.
