39 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 39 MERLIN WAY sales from August 1998 and September 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 August 1998 sale was for 18% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 18% above the HPI over time, until the September 2016 sale, where it falls to 6% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 6% below the HPI.
