4 FIRMSTONE 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 FIRMSTONE CLOSE sales from October 1996 and March 2018 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 October 1996 sale was for 12% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 12% below the HPI over time, until the March 2018 sale, where it falls to 14% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 14% below the HPI.
