5 GOSFORTH CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average terraced house price in the Wokingham local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 5 GOSFORTH CLOSE sales from April 1995 and November 2002 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 1995 sale was for 2% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 2% above the HPI over time, until the November 2002 sale, which was also at 2% above the HPI.
