9 BAREFOOT CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the West Berkshire local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 9 BAREFOOT CLOSE sales from May 1996 and September 2005 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 May 1996 sale roughly matched the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks roughly in line with the HPI over time, until the September 2005 sale, where it falls to 11% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 11% below the HPI.
