3 BALME 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 two 3 BALME CLOSE sales from December 1997 and February 2008 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 December 1997 sale was for 37% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 37% above the HPI over time, until the February 2008 sale, where it falls to 20% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 20% above the HPI.
