HUMEWOOD 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 three HUMEWOOD sales between November 1995 and August 2016 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 June 2004 sale was for 66% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 66% above the HPI over time, until the August 2016 sale, where it rises to 72% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 72% above the HPI.
