6 BLACKWATER CLOSE 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 three 6 BLACKWATER CLOSE sales between October 1997 and May 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 January 2002 sale was for 46% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 46% below the HPI over time, until the May 2011 sale, where it rises to 41% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 41% below the HPI.
