4 BARKWITH CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the Wokingham local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The six 4 BARKWITH CLOSE sales between May 1997 and December 2022 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 2018 sale was for 25% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 25% below the HPI over time, until the December 2022 sale, where it rises to 15% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 15% below the HPI.

What might 4 BARKWITH CLOSE be worth now?
