8 ABERFORD CLOSE 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 three 8 ABERFORD CLOSE sales between November 2001 and May 2023 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 2004 sale was for 44% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 44% below the HPI over time, until the May 2023 sale, where it falls to 52% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 52% below the HPI.
