1 ORKNEY CLOSE Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Torbay local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The two 1 ORKNEY CLOSE sales from February 1998 and December 2019 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 February 1998 sale was for 27% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 27% below the HPI over time, until the December 2019 sale, where it falls to 34% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 34% below the HPI.
