157 FORE STREET 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 three 157 FORE STREET sales between December 1996 and November 2016 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 November 1999 sale was for 42% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 42% below the HPI over time, until the November 2016 sale, where it rises to 17% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 17% below the HPI.
