6 WATER 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 6 WATER ROAD sales from March 1998 and December 1998 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 1998 sale was for 26% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 26% above the HPI over time, until the December 1998 sale, where it rises to 29% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 29% above the HPI.
