7 BLACKLEY CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Wokingham local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 7 BLACKLEY CLOSE sales from September 1996 and March 2004 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 September 1996 sale was for 36% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 36% below the HPI over time, until the March 2004 sale, which was also at 36% below the HPI.

What might 7 BLACKLEY CLOSE be worth now?
