23 MERLIN WAY 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 23 MERLIN WAY sales from October 1997 and December 2014 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 1997 sale was for 41% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 41% below the HPI over time, until the December 2014 sale, where it falls to 42% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 42% below the HPI.
