EVEN COTTAGE 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 EVEN COTTAGE sales between January 1997 and November 2006 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 April 2001 sale was for 7% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 7% below the HPI over time, until the November 2006 sale, where it falls to 22% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 22% below the HPI.
