24 SOUTHERN 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 24 SOUTHERN CLOSE sales from September 1995 and September 2001 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 September 1995 sale was for 34% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 34% below the HPI over time, until the September 2001 sale, where it falls to 35% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 35% below the HPI.
