13 THE WOODS 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 13 THE WOODS sales from July 2007 and May 2012 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 July 2007 sale was for 27% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 27% above the HPI over time, until the May 2012 sale, which was also at 27% above the HPI.

What might 13 THE WOODS be worth now?
