3 WHIDBORNE 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 three 3 WHIDBORNE CLOSE sales between February 1995 and October 2019 have been plotted on the graph.

For example, the June 2000 sale was for 59% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 59% above the HPI over time, until the October 2019 sale, where it rises to 67% above the HPI.
