7 HIGHDOWN AVENUE 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 7 HIGHDOWN AVENUE sales from September 2011 and December 2022 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 2011 sale was for 20% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 20% below the HPI over time, until the December 2022 sale, where it rises to 2% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 2% above the HPI.

What might 7 HIGHDOWN AVENUE be worth now?

7 HIGHDOWN AVENUE might now be worth an estimated £709,899.

This is based on house price deflation of 5.3%, between December 2022 and February 2025, for detached houses, in the Reading local authority area, as calculated by the Office for National Statistics and published in their UK House Price Index (HPI).

The 5.3% deflationary decrease is applied to the most recent sale price for 7 HIGHDOWN AVENUE of £750,000 on 12th December 2022. For the value to have decreased from £750,000 to £709,899 over the three years and ten months to February 2025, the following assumptions must hold true:

• The value of 7 HIGHDOWN AVENUE has moved in line with the HPI for detached houses in the Reading local authority area.
