6 MYRTLE CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the West Berkshire local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three 6 MYRTLE CLOSE sales between May 2007 and August 2021 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 March 2014 sale was for 14% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 14% below the HPI over time, until the August 2021 sale, where it falls to 15% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 15% below the HPI.

What might 6 MYRTLE CLOSE be worth now?
