4 DOWDING 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 4 DOWDING CLOSE sales from September 2006 and October 2015 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 2006 sale was for 38% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 38% below the HPI over time, until the October 2015 sale, where it rises to 35% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 35% below the HPI.

What might 4 DOWDING CLOSE be worth now?
