37 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 37 MERLIN WAY sales from June 2003 and October 2005 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 June 2003 sale was for 5% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 5% below the HPI over time, until the October 2005 sale, where it falls to 8% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 8% below the HPI.
