THE RED LODGE 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 four THE RED LODGE sales between August 1998 and November 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 August 2014 sale was for 20% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 20% below the HPI over time, until the November 2016 sale, where it rises to 12% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 12% below the HPI.
