9 THORNEY 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 three 9 THORNEY CLOSE sales between October 1999 and September 2021 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 November 2010 sale was for 32% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 32% below the HPI over time, until the September 2021 sale, where it rises to 25% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 25% below the HPI.

What might 9 THORNEY CLOSE be worth now?
