7 DOVE 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 DOVE CLOSE sales from December 2000 and April 2008 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 December 2000 sale was for 26% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 26% below the HPI over time, until the April 2008 sale, where it falls to 30% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 30% below the HPI.
