1 DOVE 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 1 DOVE CLOSE sales between September 1999 and February 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 September 2013 sale was for 27% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 27% below the HPI over time, until the February 2021 sale, where it falls to 40% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 40% below the HPI.
